Cozy apartment in the heart of Malaga by REMS

Cozy apartment in the heart of Malaga by REMS Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Cozy apartment in the heart of Malaga by REMS on Calle Carretería, you immediately know you’ve hit the jackpot location-wise. I mean, this street is literally where locals do their shopping and grab their morning coffee — you’re not in some tourist bubble here. The building itself has that classic Andalusian charm without being overly fancy, which honestly feels just right for a four-star place. You can hear the gentle buzz of real Málaga life right outside your window, but it’s never overwhelming.

The Apartment Experience

This isn’t your typical hotel room situation — you’re getting a proper apartment that actually feels like someone’s thoughtfully designed home. The space flows really well, and there’s enough room to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped. What I loved most was the kitchen setup — it’s compact but has everything you need if you want to grab some jamón and cheese from the nearby market and have a proper Spanish breakfast. The whole place has this warm, lived-in feeling that makes you want to stay longer than planned. You’ll appreciate the attention to detail throughout the space.

Location Magic

Honestly, the location score of 9.8 doesn’t surprise me at all. You’re a two-minute walk from the Cathedral and Picasso Museum, but here’s what the guidebooks don’t tell you — you’re also right next to some of the best tapas bars that locals actually frequent. Calle Carretería connects you to everything without the chaos of the main tourist drags. I watched couples strolling to dinner every evening, and you can see why they rate this spot so highly for romantic getaways. The neighborhood truly offers something special for every visitor.

Daily Life Here

What really sets this place apart is how it plugs you into actual Málaga rhythms. There’s a little bakery around the corner where the owner will remember your order by day three, and the evening paseo happens right outside your door. You know what’s great? You can walk to the Mercado Central in five minutes for fresh produce, or head to the beach in about fifteen. The neighborhood has this perfect balance — busy enough to feel alive, quiet enough that you’ll actually sleep well. This is where authentic travel experiences come to life.

Why Guests Love It

The 9.0 rating makes total sense once you’ve stayed here. It’s that rare combination of authentic location, comfortable space, and reasonable price point that’s getting harder to find in European city centers. Couples especially seem to get it — there’s something romantic about having your own little Spanish apartment in the heart of everything, rather than being stuck in some generic hotel corridor. You’ll find yourself planning your next Málaga trip before you’ve even checked out. The experience lingers long after departure.

Reviews of Cozy apartment in the heart of Malaga by REMS

• Diana from Romania (9/10)

  It is a beautiful apartment right in the Center of Malaga. Close to everything, quiet and safe. It has everything you need and it was perfect for a 4 nights stay for 2 people. The problem about the water in the shower, reported by other tourists, was solved with a shower courtain, so the water doesn’t overflow anymore. Also, the staff is very nice and promptly answers any question you may have. I will surely stay here again!

• Berend from Netherlands (9/10)

  Comfortable, modern appartement, relatively close to centre and trainstation.

• Elaine from United Kingdom (9/10)

  The apartment location was exceptional. Bars and restaurants very nearby but far enough away that there was no noise. Close to the metro so easy access to the airport.

• Kristien from Belgium (8/10)

  I got exactly what I had expected from the pictures and description: it is indeed a "cozy little apartment". Both the location (on the verge of the historical centre, on a street with a nice organic grocery store and a couple of interesting options for eating out/having a drink), the details of the apartment (several lamp shades, different pillows, hangers and hooks to hang stuff from in the bathroom) and the welcoming staff (they checked in on me the 2nd day to find out whether I had everything I needed and took action when there seemed to be a problem with the shower — which got fixed) made me feel at home.
  
  The bedroom is very quite (especially for Malaga, which tends to have noisy streets) and has decent blinds. There's a thinner and a thicker pillow to choose from (or fight over if there's two of you :-). The matras was alright, a bit harder than I am used to, but I slept fine.
  
  The shower initially didn't heat up properly, but that got sorted.
  
  There is a narrow balcony, but because it was still too chilly in the shade, I didn't make use of it.
  
  If you are a solo female traveler: the neighborhoud is clean, well-lit and safe. It still feels local, without much of the hassle of the tourist center while still being on the verge of it. I found the Malaga-people very nice and welcoming in general.
