Lets take it point by point, what i liked and from my perspective of view as I traveled in Malaga both for holiday and work reasons. And focusing mostly on apartment and places around.
1. Good and clean apartment with everything you required. As we calling that with the “key”. You just enter and living. No need to think what additional to bring or buy. Also kind of quiet in the night.
2. Location, it is not that touristic, which is good. Since you are more close to local culture, peoples, shops around you. On weekends you can here live music events from around squares.
3. You will find many things around you just with few steps of walking. Supermarkets, pharmacies, fresh fruit shops, ice cream shops, grilled kitchen and fast food shops, patisseries and bakeries.
4. Bus stop. And Viktoria Kent train stop 5 mins walking train station, so you can go to all beach destinations like Fuengirola, Torremolinos, Benalmadena and between stations, or to city centre. Of course the most important, that in 5 mins you can arrive in Airport using the same train which is passing around every 25-30 mins from early morning until the midnight.
5. More on the west side you can find Maria Zambrano station, from which you can go to more destinations like Granada and other historical cities.
