Tucked away in Chamberí, this apartment is perfect for a couple visiting the Spanish capital. Its all-white appearance may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but you’ll find everything needed here for a comfortable stay, including a dedicated desk area for those in the city for work. That said, the bright walls and furnishings do benefit the space as you won’t find a window in the open-plan living and kitchen area. Still, with this home's enviable location, surrounded by restaurants, shops, and must-see attractions, the lack of views is a small price to pay.

Home truths:
*Parking in Madrid can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible. The apartment is three minutes from the Iglesia metro station and five minutes from Alonso Martínez. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *There are no windows in the main living and kitchen area, so it lacks natural light. The window in the bedroom looks out onto neighbouring buildings, so the view isn't the most inspiring. *There are no bedroom curtains here. If you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask.
