The Plaza Perch

Looking for a practical base in the heart of Madrid? This smart apartment just off the iconic Plaza de España district fits the bill. You'll be within walking distance of the Temple of Debod, the Sabatini Gardens, the Royal Palace and the lively Malasaña neighbourhood. Visiting for work? The nearby Metro (four minutes on foot) makes getting around the city easy. Back at the apartment, the Juliet balconies hint at the building’s heritage, while the rest of the interior is bang up-to-date. There’s a sofa bed for flexible sleeping arrangements and a compact kitchen for breakfasts and light bites. As for dinner, the local buzzing tapas bars will do nicely.

Home truths:
*This home is only suitable for those studying or travelling for work – you’ll need to provide proof from your university or employer.
*At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
*You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
*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.
*Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
