With an excellent view of Lope de Vega, Blue Reverie is set against a typical Madrileño backdrop of terracotta townhouses. The streets surrounding this home are full of independent shoemakers, tapas bars and quirky cafes that characterise the dreamy neighbourhood of Las Letras. Although the design of this bright home is rather minimal, the wall art in the communal area will ignite your curiosity and connect you to fellow explorers of the Spanish Capital.

Home truths:
* Four guests can stay in this home, but two will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room
* There are eight steps leading to the elevator – those with limited mobility or heavy suitcases beware
* Aside from a TV with local channels, there are no entertainment options in this home
* The kitchen is more of a kitchenette, so not ideal for avid cooks
