This apartment is for those seeking design and location. Located in Retiro, this pad caught our eye for its stylish open-plan living space – it’s an idyllic spot to share tapas dinners and sangria pitchers with your loved ones after a day of gallery hopping and shopping on Gran Via. When you feel like dining out you’ll have plenty of authentic eateries and upscale restaurants on your doorstep, though the contemporary kitchen will lure in the home cooks. And while there’s no parking here, the Retiro metro station is just a short walk away.

Home truths:
*This home is in an apartment building in a central spot, so there is a chance you may hear some outside noise during your stay. *The dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace here. *While there's a balcony, it's not large enough to accommodate seating. *Parking in Madrid can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport system. The nearest metro is Retiro. *Your host kindly asks that you respect quiet hours between midnight and 8am.
