Located in the central neighbourhood of Malasaña, this apartment puts guests in easy reach of Madrid’s hot spots. The Royal Palace and Plaza Mayor are a short stroll away, and the Plaza de España metro station is reached in around five minutes by foot. In terms of the home itself, there’s an open-plan living area (though space is compromised when the sofa bed’s in use) and two small but comfortable bedrooms. Just so you know, there are stairs to climb to reach the front door, so you might want to pack light.

Home truths
Parking in Madrid can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible.
At capacity, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living space. Please note, six guests will share one bathroom.
As this is a second-floor apartment with stairs only, it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility of heavy luggage.
When we visited, the kitchen was lacking some cooking utensils, so it might not be the best choice if you're planning family meals in. That said, you've got the pick of Madrid’s restaurants nearby.
