This chic apartment has two large shopping centres within a few hundred metres – this is a great base if you’re hoping to indulge in some retail therapy in Madrid. It’s in the heart of the city, with the Puerta del Sol just a few steps away. The apartment is modern and minimalist, with a tranquil vibe that means you can unwind when you’re not out seeing the sights. Two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room, which may not be the most comfortable set-up for longer stays.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room. *Your host does not accept bookings for groups of those under the age of 18. *Given this home’s central spot, there’s a chance you may hear street noise during your stay.
