This pad is ideal for business travellers or those with packed itineraries. Minimal, practical, and with a handy sofa bed to accommodate a third and fourth guest, you’ll have all you need for your city break. The interiors are not the most soulful, but the modern kitchen invites you to cook up light bites at home, that is when you’re not out sampling Madrid’s vibrant culinary scene. There’s parking available here, though we suggest hopping on the metro to best explore the city.

Home truths:
*At full capacity, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed. *This home was purpose-built for rentals, so it's not the most soulful or charming space. *This home is in a residential building. 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 – Buenos Aires is the closest metro to the apartment.
