Home truths

    This apartment has frosted windows, so there aren't any views.

    The third bedroom is quite small with limited storage space. However, it has everything you need for a comfortable night's sleep.

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

    Your host doesn’t accept bookings from groups of young people at this home.

About Argüelles

Argüelles is a residential neighborhood of Madrid, popular with young professionals and students. It’s a green and quiet area, surrounded by parks and universities. You won’t see many tourists here – none of Madrid’s famous attractions are located in the immediate vicinity. However, the area is well-connected and you can get to the busy centre in less than 30 minutes.
