Coral Steel's greatest strength is the location. Only minutes away from the oldest (and if you believe the locals, the best) chocolate shop in town, a huge food market, and the famous Puerta del Sol, this home will make sightseeing effortless. The square footage might not be the biggest, but the minimalist Scandi-inspired furnishings and playful textures do a good job at freeing up space while keeping it interesting. Our favourite? The long exposed brick wall that connects the kitchen to the living room.

Home truths:
* All of the windows overlook the interior light shaft – not the finest view unfortunately
* While this home can accommodate up to six guests, the last two will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room
* Aside from the TV with local channels, there aren't many entertainment options in this home
