Madrid, Madrid, Spain

REFNO:545772. With a fantastic address, just off the Paseo de la Castellana, this apartment has a wealth of attractions nearby. The upmarket districts of Salamanca, Chamberi and Justicia are all close, so you'll have plenty of fine restaurants, chic boutiques and art galleries to enjoy. With one of Madrid's main avenues on your doorstep, the slight downside is you will hear some street noise here, but it's easily fixed with some earplugs if you're a light sleeper. We have to say, we love the views over Plaza Villa de París from this home. The kitchen is well-equipped, so you can cook some homemade meals or let your host arrange a private chef to create some of your favourite tapas dishes. Home truths: *Upon arrival, guests will find two dishwasher tablets, a small bottle of liquid detergent, a tea towel and sponge. *If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance. *Your hosts provide a small welcome pack with coffee, milk, biscuits and water so you can feel at home when you arrive. *You can store your luggage for free at your host's office. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
