Greetings! My husband and I will be spending roughly 5-7 days or so in Madrid, Barcelona and Seville this March and prefer the idea of staying in short-term housing over hotels. Browsing other posts, I have found some sites beyond airbnb to explore, but wondered whether members of the forum might have specific neighborhoods, or even links to successful places or rental firms to share. We are inclined to be in neighborhoods that are not right in the center of the action, but rather in interesting residential areas that have cafes and amenities, but are not prime tourist areas.
Thanks for any ideas or input!
