If you're looking for a home set back from the bustle of Madrid's centre, this Comillas Serviced apartment hits the brief. Set beside the Manzanares River in the south of the city – this district is home to the green parklands of Madrid Río and the culture hotspot, Museo del Matadero. Granted, it might not be the most exciting home in our collection, but its fuss-free, practical interiors make for an easy stay. The dedicated desk space is handy, too, if you plan to work remotely. It's worth noting that at full occupancy, two guests will have to share a sofa bed in the lounge – fine for children sharing or a short stay but not much else.
