Description El Clásico: Madrid

While this home won’t be winning any awards for modern design, its central locale makes it an ideal base for those looking to make the most out of Madrid’s cultural hotspots. Close to Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol and the Royal Palace of Madrid, you’ve got some of the city’s most iconic sights within easy reach on foot, and plenty of nearby transport links to take you across the wider area. If art brings you to Madrid, you’ll find yourself at home amongst the apartment’s many prints and posters, while the bathtub feels like a good way to end a busy day of sightseeing, maybe even with a glass of Spanish wine in hand.

Home truths:
*There's a lift to access the apartment on the third floor *Given the home's central location, you may hear some street noise *This host does not accept bookings from groups of young people *There's no desk here, but the dining table can double up as a laptop-friendly workspace *The decor is a little dated – those looking for a modern home may wish to look elsewhere *We recommend skipping the car and exploring Madrid on foot or by public transport instead
