While the original wooden doors of the building may hark back to a different era, this apartment is full of modern charm and 21-century style. Located in front of the beautiful Plaza de la Villa and just a five-minute walk from Plaza Mayor, it couldn’t be more conveniently located to make the most out of Madrid’s sights. Inside, a sociable open-plan living area invites you to kick back and relax, whether around the dining table for fresh coffee and pastries each morning or on the chic sofa for a glass of wine after a day of exploring. Both bedrooms are simple yet wonderfully comfortable and we’re particularly fond of the main bedroom’s French doors that lead out onto a scenic Juliet balcony. Factor in the sleek marble-clad bathrooms, and you’ve got everything you need for a carefree stay. When it comes to sightseeing, wander around nearby Plaza Mayor or Puerta del Sol (an eight-minute walk), visit the Royal Palace of Madrid (a five-minute walk) and sample the countless tapas bars and restaurants right on your front step.

Home truths
This home is on the fourth floor accessed via a lift
A maximum capacity, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room
The second bedroom doesn't have any external windows, so lacks natural light
The kitchen is on the small side and better suited to light meal-making
The windows in the living area look out onto an inner courtyard, so it gets less natural light at certain times of the day
There's a laptop-friendly workspace
The building's entrance is communal
There's no parking here, but we recommend skipping the car and using Madrid's public transport instead – Opera station is a six-minute walk away
