Raul from United States (10/10)
Splendid experience during the first couple of weeks of Sep. 2024. Great location, clean, quiet and perfectly situated to reach many of Málaga’s must see sites. This property was on the first level and accessible via elevator. The apartment was very spacious and it had everything we needed for our two-weeks stay. Within just a block or two you could reach at least six or eight restaurants, coffee shops and a grocery store. This property benefited from pedestrian traffic only since it is located in a restricted zone. We were able to go out, venture to many exciting places like Malagueta Beach, several museums, Calle Larios, Fortaleza Alcazaba and Gibralfaro as well the famous Cathedral- Catedral Basílica de la Encarnación aka (La Manquita). Also, we had no shortage of great restaurants, pubs and mid to high-end shops and boutiques. Our Hostess “Melina” was wonderful, although keeping a low profile she communicated promptly and courteously.
