This simple Madrid home in the San Diego neighbourhood isn't the city's most exciting, but it does tick several key boxes for us. Nearby you'll find several parks, making it suitable if you're travelling with young ones. And while the nearest metro stations are a bit of a walk, there are several buses stopping close by that you can use to reach the city centre. Although this home can host four guests, it's a squeeze having the sofa bed out in the living area, and there isn't much natural light here. We think it's most suited to those who want to drop their bags and explore.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.
*This home is on the second floor with no lift. Guests will need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance.
*There is no wardrobe in the bedroom, although there is a clothes railing.
*This home doesn't get much natural light.
*If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
*The kitchenette has an oven and a hob, but there isn't much prep space. We think it is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
