An attic room off Plaza Mayor
Sample entry: top floor, sloped ceiling, and the whole centre on your doorstep — plus the noise that comes with it.
A demonstration entry for the most central possible place to sleep in Madrid. Everything is within fifteen minutes on foot, which is genuinely useful, and the trade-off is that you are living inside the busiest square kilometre in the city.
The honest notes any real listing here should carry: which way the windows face, whether there is a lift, and how the building handles a Saturday night. Central Madrid does not get quiet until about four.
