Ideal for a group of friends or family, this apartment in the heart of the Salamanca district is the perfect base from which to explore Madrid. With a balcony to soak up the Spanish sunshine in the mornings and each bedroom boasting its own en-suite, this is a comfortable home for up to six people. There’s no parking here, but with a host of eateries and shops on your doorstep and a mere five-minute walk to the Velázquez and Príncipe de Vergara stops, hopping across the city is a breeze.

Home truths:
*Parking in Madrid can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance. *The bedroom curtains here don't fully block out the sunlight. If you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask. *This apartment overlooks neighbouring homes. The views aren't the most inspiring and it lacks a little privacy.
