Situated in Madrid's Malasaña area, this studio apartment is great for work visits or a weekend break in the city. The sofa can be converted into a bed suitable for one adult or two children, making it ideal for short family trips or friends travelling together. The kitchen has no oven, but fear not – there are plenty of fantastic restaurants nearby for all your cravings. And while you can expect to hear some outside noise here, we think the convenience of the location makes up for it. You'll find public transport within easy reach for getting to some of Madrid's famous hotspots, from the Plaza Mayor to the historic Dos de Mayo square.
