Rental unit in Centro Madrid
4.88 out of 5 average rating, 184 reviewsSpectacular apartment in La Latina with views
Delta’s apartment was beautiful and in walking distance of many different establishments in Madrid. I am certain that anyone who books a stay here will be satisfied with how much is surrounding this apartment, there is even El Rastro flea market that comes on Sunday, which is right next door to the AirBnb. Very peaceful and private location and a beautiful home. Would definitely book again if visiting Madrid.
Rental unit in Centro Madrid
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 298 reviewsContemporary haven and well appointed urban escape
Maria and Jesus are absolutely amazing hosts. They went above and beyond from the check in (needing to drop my luggage early) to check out (arranging a taxi to the airport). The bed was as comfortable as mine back home and the linens were more than adequate to keep me warm and cozy as I visited during a rainy time. Space is large and extremely clean. As someone who had hosted and stayed in many AirBnbs, this place lives up to its rating and beyond. Hosts are extremely gracious, responsive, and there to help you however and whenever they can. Absolutely recommend 200%.

very nice apartment, right off of Gran Via and in desirable Chueca, which is central to everything in central Madrid. The apartment is a bit small, but more than adequate for a couple of nights in Madrid
Rental unit in Centro Madrid
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 299 reviewsCharming Sol-Pza Mayor Best Location
We had a lovely stay. Dulce allowed us to enter the accommodation at 1 p.m. even if other people had left that morning. The accommodation is quiet despite being in the heart of this very noisy city. Ideally located, you can do anything by foot. Be careful if you come by car parking is 2 steps away but really very expensive! i would recommend this place without hesitation. Thank you Dulce for your kindness 😀

Roque's flat was excellent for my stay in Madrid. It is centrally located and easy to get anywhere you need from Sol metro station. The flat was just the right size and had everything I needed for my stay, including some tasty espresso :) Roque was very responsive and proactive with communication. It was a great stay.
Rental unit in Centro Madrid
5 out of 5 average rating, 84 reviewsBeautiful apartment - La Latina
This flat in La Latina proved to be the perfect home base for our Madrid adventures. The location is great - we loved being within easy walking distance of both the market and palace. What really made this place special was how family-friendly it was, offering a comfortable space for our little one to nap and for us to recharge. Giles and Miriam were exceptional hosts, responding quickly and efficiently to any questions or concerns we had during our stay. Giles’s attentiveness enhanced our experience. The apartment's central location combined with its peaceful atmosphere makes it an ideal choice for families. Would recommend this place to anyone visiting Madrid, especially those traveling with children. It offers the best of both worlds - proximity to major attractions and a cosy retreat when you need to rest.

It was great to be close to the metro system. The view from the balcony was lovely. Nice to be so high above everyone looking down on lots of activity including children in the playground and others playing basketball nearby.

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 34 reviewsLa Latina, Austrias & Palacio - New, Patio & Quiet
The location is really great. This is my second time in Madrid but first time renting this apartment. I can garante you that you will be able to walk pretty much to any place you would like. I only used Uber one time because it was after 3am and I didn’t want to walk late at night. Place is nice.
Rental unit in Centro Madrid
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 141 reviewsLovely apartment in the center of Madrid
We loved the place. Really felt right at home and didn't want to leave. Having an actual balcony with a table and chairs was so nice. The location was perfect. Very much walkable to the main center of town attractions but far enough from the overcrowded areas, specially around the holidays. The place was extremely quiet. The neighborhood has a great diverse energy and the store downstairs was so convenient and fully stocked of everything we needed and they were so nice and helpful. There's a really cute coffee place across the street too and lots of other restaurants/bars very close by.

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 72 reviewsMagnificent Apt with balconies
Greeted by Montserrat we were immediately made to feel at home. This apartment is in a fantastic central location and yet so quiet. It has been impeccably renovated and decorated in top quality fittings from a very comfortable bed and bedding to a fantastic bathroom and kitchen and living space. We were super impressed with everything about this apartment and, in Madrid again, would not hesitate to book here again. Thank you for our favourite Airbnb for our trip.
Loft in Centro Madrid
4.92 out of 5 average rating, 657 reviewsGreat Studio! Best Reviews!
We had a great stay at Al's place. The flat was spacious, quiet, tasteful, practical and very comfortable. The king size bed was super comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed. Bathroom was practical. Al was a great host. Always prompt and helpful in communication. Gave us very good tips about Madrid and local attractions. We felt well looked after. The flat is located in a trendy part of Madrid and a short stroll takes you to all the museums and other attractions. Several trendy shops, cafes, restaurants and supermarkets are very close by. We had a great time in Madrid. Thanks Al!

Your guide to Madrid
Welcome to Madrid
Spain’s capital city is an exciting meld of the old and new. Madrid’s streets teem with stately palaces, ornate Belle Époque buildings, and modern architecture, and its skyline is spiky with soaring slate spires. This is also a place that celebrates its abundant open spaces. The River Manzanares, which slices through the city, is crisscrossed by arched bridges and lined with walking paths and green spaces such as the modern Madrid Río Park, a landscaped stretch of riverbank activated with playgrounds, performance spaces, and the Arganzuela Bridge, which looks like an enormous metal spring.
In the evening Madrid’s vibrant nightlife awakens, as revelers flock to bars, clubs, and restaurants that stay open until the morning hours. Thanks to those privileged royals of yore, the city is a marquee arts destination, studded with world-class museums and galleries that still benefit from the largess of rulers who supported famous artists. Madrid’s artistic reputation is only rivaled by its gastronomic one — the food here, from traditional tapas to reservations-required upscale dining, is reliably excellent.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Madrid
Late spring and early summer are prime seasons in Madrid, when temperatures are warm but not scorching, and open-air markets, sidewalk cafes, and plazas hum with activity. Summers are hot and dry, and autumns mild. Winters are cold, although snow is infrequent. In the middle of May, the city comes together for an annual weeklong celebration of the city’s patron saint, Isidor the Laborer, with street festivals, dancing, and feasting. The city’s LGBTQ+ Pride event in June has grown to be one of Madrid’s marquee celebrations, and crowds flow into the city for days of festivities.
Top things to do in Madrid
Museo del Prado
Housed in a circa-1785 palace (with some modern additions) the Museo del Prado is home to more than 7,000 paintings. Its vast collection includes works by only-last-name-needed artists such as Goya, Velázquez, and El Greco. It’s within walking distance of two other heavyweight art museums, the contemporary Museo Reina Sofía — home to Picasso’s Guernica — and the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, which showcases works by European masters.
Parque del Buen Retiro
This 17th-century park is studded with ornate marble buildings, a placid boating lake, and shade trees. Some of its unique features include what is believed to be the oldest tree in Madrid — a 400-year-old Mexican conifer — and the Palacio de Cristal, a glass and iron greenhouse repurposed as a modern art gallery.
Metro Museums
As you zip around the city, take a moment to explore some of the unique displays within the transit system. The Ópera station houses an archeological museum showcasing 16th- and 17th-century artifacts unearthed during construction. A paleontology exhibit in the Carpetana station displays the fossils of prehistoric animals; the Chamberí station, which opened in 1919, is now closed to trains but open to visitors, and retains its original billboards and other period details.
