We stayed in Manuel’s apartment at the start of the Easter holidays (before Semana Santa) and found it to be a really lovely place to base ourselves for sight-seeing and exploring Malaga and the surrounding area.
When we arrived, Manuel met us at the apartment and took time to show us everything we needed to know: including all the amenities and useful local information like bus routes, nearby supermarkets etc. The apartment was spotlessly clean, very modern and the view of the city and the sea is spectacular! The building is quiet, well-maintained and in a residential area on the seafront.
We hired a car at the airport in order to explore the local area and I would say the only downside is parking. Street parking is available but you have to search for it! It’s quite tricky and it’s something to bear in mind if you’re hiring a car.
The apartment is a great base for exploring the city and everything Malaga and Andalucia has to offer. It is around 25-30 minutes walk from the city centre so buses are useful (bus stop is right outside the apartment block so very convenient.) We strolled into town once but with children, it can be a bit of a hike. There are also electric scooters or bikes to hire all along the promenade. They’re great fun, reasonably priced and will get you there much quicker!
The apartment had absolutely everything we needed: all towels including beach towels for the pool downstairs or the beach, toiletries, hairdryer, kitchen equipment and even essentials like coffee, tea, sugar, salt and pepper. I would recommend the apartment to families or a couple who want to relax by the sea and enjoy this beautiful part of southern Spain!
