Description Paquelin: Madrid

Residential Chamberí might not be smack in the middle of Madrid's theatre scene, but if you're in town to relax and see it on your own terms, then you'll appreciate the quieter neighbourhood. Paquelin is a comfortable home in the heart of it, immaculate and simple. With only a few art prints on the walls (which we thoroughly enjoyed) and generally inobtrusive furniture, it's the kind of home that will best suit an adventurous family who will make it their own. The kitchen is on the smaller side, but it's still well equipped and bright.

Home truths:
* There are several steps leading to the elevator - no step-free access unfortunately
* Our home critic reported that the entrance to this building was hard to find – keep in touch with the lovely host if you have any trouble
* The WiFi was a little patchy in the second bedroom when we tested
* There are no curtains in this home
* Although the kitchen is well-equipped with appliances, it doesn't have the basic cooking ingredients
