Dandelion Days
Boasting a privileged position in Madrid’s culture-rich Las Letras neighbourhood, this top-floor apartment offers comfort and style in equal measure. Its slanted ceilings and contemporary decor make an immediately striking welcome in the open-plan living area, bathed in light thanks to the scenic skylights that give way to rooftop views. Make yourself comfortable in the seating nook with a glass of wine after a day of exploring the city, or gather together at the dining table for a meal when you’re not out sampling the lively local tapas scene. The beamed bedroom is a serene space you’ll love retreating to at the end of the night, as you fall asleep to the glow of the moon through the skylight. What’s more, you’ve got access to the building’s shared rooftop terrace – a beautiful sun trap that beckons alfresco breakfasts and celebratory sundowners as you watch the light fade over the city. When it comes to sightseeing, you’re in an id...More Details

Located in the central neighbourhood of Malasaña, this apartment puts guests in easy reach of Madrid’s hot spots. The Royal Palace and Plaza Mayor are a short stroll away, and the Plaza de España metro station is reached in around five minutes by foot. In terms of the home itself, there’s an open-plan living area (though space is compromised when the sofa bed’s in use) and two small but comfortable bedrooms. Just so you know, there are stairs to climb to reach the front door, so you might want to pack light. *Parking in Madrid can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible. *At capacity, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living space. Please note, six guests will share one bathroom.*As this is a second-floor apartment with stairs only, it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility of heavy luggage.*When we visited, the kitchen was lacking some cooking utensils, so it...More Details

When you see as many flats as we do, you learn very quickly to tell which homes have been done up for convenience, and which are a labour of love. Toquilla clearly falls into the latter category. It’s been designed as a whole, with thought and attention put into the schemes, as well as the materials. We particularly liked the concrete pillars and the glass walls, neither of which are especially common in Madrid. The only real complaint we have is the fake plants – They’re understandable for the convenience, but really, most places would be better off without anything. *We like the look of the glass wall between one of the bedrooms and the living room, but it doesn't leave much to the imagination*That bedroom also has two single beds pushed together, rather than a real double bed*We found some limescale on the taps*Neither of the bathrooms have any windows*Two people can sleep on a double sofa bed in the living room Air ConditioningBla...More Details

Right on Cue
Located near Goya, Evita will bring you into an authentic, beautiful neighbourhood, only minutes away from Retiro Park. The nearby buildings, which you can see from the comfort of your huge bay windows, boast typical townhouse decoration, and there are lots of fantastic cafes nearby. Although this house is simply decorated, every item feels like it's in the right place, creating a coherent modern look. Aside from the natural light in the communal area, we really enjoyed the cosy study between the bedrooms. * There are enough beds for six guests in this home, but we thing that 5 should be the maximum to ensure comfort* The room with the bunkbed also has a pull-out bed, which is where the fifth guest would be sleeping – this arrangement is better suited for young adults and children * There isn't much natural light in the kitchen* Pets are allowed in this home, but the host would appreciate if you gave them a heads up* There are several ...More Details
