Located in vibrant Ponzano, this apartment is a handy base for anyone in search of a well-connected city escape. Some of Madrid’s best restaurants are on the doorstep, while iconic sights, museums and parks are all within easy reach. And when you’re looking to pause and unwind after a day of exploring, this home has all the basics you could need for an easygoing stay. It’s worth noting there isn’t a lot of natural light here, but there is a sofa bed for two extra guests – also a nice option for children.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room. *While we like the overall design of this home, it is lacking in natural light. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started. *This home is located within an apartment building, with a shared entrance. Expect to bump into other guests during your stay. *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.
