Home truths

    This home is laid out across three floors with stairs between them

    There's no AC here

    There's free on-street private parking available here

    Parking in Madrid can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot

    You'll have the whole home to yourself, so there won't be any other guests using the terrace

    Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
