The Narcisse

The Narcisse: Community of Madrid

The Narcisse is only a few minutes away from Calle Fuencarral, one of our favourite shopping streets in Madrid. To say that it's centrally located is an understatement, especially since this home is practically surrounded by Malasaña's finest quirky cafes and restaurants. Narcisse is an ambitious home – the golden details are risky but well-balanced with calmer tones, and the layout is (rightfully) focused on maximising the natural light, which mostly comes from the French doors. But in the end, this home won us over with the urban view.

Home truths:
* This home can sleep a maximum of four guests, but the last two will need to settle for the sofa bed
* There are a few steps leading to the elevator – those with limited mobility or heavy suitcases take note
* Aside from the TV with local channels, this home doesn't have a lot of entertainment options
* We're admittedly a picky bunch, but the toiletries weren't luxurious enough for our taste
