Alcalá Oasis

If a central location is high on your list of priorities, then it's time to stop scrolling. From here, you'll find a great selection of shops, bars and restaurants along the famous Gran Vía. You're also just a few minutes away on foot from the city's popular landmarks such as the Prado Museum. At home, there's a laptop-friendly desk in the single bedroom, while the sleek kitchen and breakfast bar are perfect for sociable dining as a group. Keep in mind that some street noise should be expected here, but we think it's a small price to pay for this enviable spot in the heart of Madrid.
