This studio apartment in Villaverde’s Los Ángeles is a modern retreat on the outskirts of Madrid. It’s a quieter residential area with good connections to the inner city, though you’ll have a private parking space here, should you feel like driving in. Set within an apartment complex, you’ll have shared access to the pool and playground here – ideal if you’re visiting with little ones. The apartment itself is modern, and while all four guests will be sharing the space (two of which are on the sofa bed), it’s a comfortable spot for sharing dinners after a day of sightseeing.

Home truths:
*This home is in a residential building with a shared pool and children's playground. Expect to bump into your neighbours during your stay. *You won't find a desk here, but the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace. *Given the central location, noise is to be expected. *While parking may be available here, Madrid's public transport links are easily accessible – Ciudad de los Ángeles is the closest metro to the apartment.
