Whether you’re visiting the Spanish capital for just a few days or are here for a year or longer, there are a vast number of properties sprinkled across the city that can be rented on a short or long-term basis. Locations vary between prime spots in the city centre and its residential neighbourhoods where you can experience something akin to life as a local. If you’re seeking a Madrid rental and have the budget for an upscale apartment, we’ve picked out three online resources for finding the right place for you.
Blueground
Blueground are our number one choice for Madrid rentals for periods of anything from a month through to a year.

During our search for Madrid properties, we found over 200 currently available, including such lavish options as a stylish 3-bedroom apartment on Calle de Alcalá, one of the city’s longest streets, priced at €5,020 per month.
