Home truths

    This home is located within an apartment building, with a shared entrance. Expect to bump into other guests during your stay.

    Please note one of the beds is tucked behind the yellow sliding door in the living room.

    If you are travelling with children, your host can provide a cot for free on request.

    You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started.

    Parking in Madrid can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible.
