We enjoyed a wonderful week relaxing in February sun, visiting art galleries and exploring the old parts of Málaga city.
The ground floor apartment is in a recently renovated building in the centre of the old town, just south of Plaza de la Merced (Picasso’s birthplace). Everything is easily walkable, with a supermarket close by, and great bars and restaurants on your doorstep — these can be a little noisy late at night, particularly at the weekend, but that’s part of the fun!
The apartment is clean and well equipped, with modern furniture, a new kitchen with accessories, and a shared bathroom. The bedrooms were very comfortable, with good mattresses and blackout shutters, though clothes storage is limited (the hall has built-in wardrobes). All rooms catch the afternoon sun, with windows overlooking the narrow street and neighbouring courtyard, and there’s a small private roof terrace accessed by a lift, and a few stairs, with wonderful rooftop views.
Irene, our hostess through Málaga Center Flats, was very helpful with messages. She organised a return taxi from the airport and remotely buzzed us into the building. The apartment door is unlocked using an app and keypad, which takes some setup when you arrive — this was a little challenging. There are two sets of regular keys once you’re inside.
We would have benefitted from a welcome pack, with information on how appliances worked, where to empty the bins, and some local advice to get us going, but we worked things out!
A good flat for a cultural break in the sun. Great to speak Spanish. Thank you!
