Located in the heart of the hip Malasana neighbourhood with its trendy bars, coffee shops and vintage clothes shops, this apartment is perfect for couples seeking an energetic area to briefly call home. The kitchen allows you to cook a quick breakfast each morning before heading out to explore, and the soft bed will be a blessing after a night out exploring.

The local area is awash with places to eat and drink – we recommend checking out the Plaza del 2 de Mayo, a historic squared replete with bustling bars and market stalls at the weekend. History and architecture buffs will want to walk over to Gran Vía. Just a five-minute walk away, the street features buildings in a variety of styles, from revivalist to art deco.

Home truths:
*Parking in Madrid can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot
*While the home can sleep up to three people, the maximum occupancy is two guests
*This home is located on the second floor with no lift
*The entrance to the building is shared with the building's other residents
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
