The Spanish Air

This modern and practical base in the convenient Chamberí neighbourhood sets you up for a fuss-free stay well within reach of the city's major sights – the Plaza de España and the Puerta de Alcalá are a short walk away. While we love the overall design, there isn't a lot of natural light here, but the decor is modern and you'll find everything needed for a comfortable stay. There's a desk in the living area for those working from home plus the sofa bed accommodates a fifth person – though there's only enough dining space for four guests. It's also worth noting that the kitchen is a little dated, although you'll find plenty of great restaurants on your doorstep.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, one person will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living area. However, there's only enough dining space for four guests.
*The kitchen is a little dated and best suited for prepping lighter bites rather than large meals. That said, you'll find some of the area's best restaurants nearby.
*The home is spread over two floors and you'll need to climb stairs to reach the bedrooms.
*While we love the overall design of this home, it is lacking in natural light.
*There's a desk if you need to work from home.
