Homely Málaga Refino 1-I6 y bajo E5 Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Homely Málaga Refino 1-I6 y bajo E5 on Calle Refino, you immediately get that feeling you’ve stumbled onto something good. This four-star property sits right in the thick of things in Málaga Centro, and I mean really in the heart of it all — you can practically feel the city’s pulse from the doorstep. The building has that authentic Spanish charm without trying too hard, and honestly, the location alone makes you feel like you’ve made a smart choice.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s the thing about staying on Calle Refino — you’re genuinely in the real Málaga, not some touristy bubble. I’ve walked these streets plenty of times, and this spot gives you that perfect balance where you can slip into a local café for morning coffee or wander to the major sights without breaking a sweat. The couples who stay here absolutely love it (they rate the location 9.0, which honestly doesn’t surprise me), and I get why. You know what’s great? You can actually explore the city on foot from here, and when you need a break from all that walking, you’re already home.

The Room Experience

The room setup here feels thoughtfully designed rather than just thrown together. What I appreciate is how they’ve managed to create spaces that feel homely — and yes, that’s probably intentional given the name — without sacrificing modern comfort. The apartment have this lived-in quality that makes you want to actually unpack your suitcase instead of living out of it. Each unit feels like someone’s carefully curated city pied-à-terre, complete with everything you need for a proper stay rather than just a place to crash.

Practical Perks

Let’s talk about something that’ll save you headaches — they’ve got private parking right on site. If you’ve ever tried to park in central Málaga, you’ll know this is basically gold. I mean, finding a spot in this part of town usually involves circling blocks and muttering under your breath, so having your own guaranteed space is genuinely liberating. It’s one of those details that seems small until you really need it, then suddenly it’s the best thing ever.

Why Guests Love It

With an 8.6 rating and that impressive 9.1 location score, this place clearly hits the mark for people who want to experience Málaga properly. What makes it work is the combination of being genuinely central (not just “close to downtown” but actually downtown) while maintaining that homely atmosphere the name promises. You’re not staying in some generic hotel bubble — you’re living in the city for a few days, with all the independence that brings but none of the usual rental hassles. It’s particularly perfect for couples who want to explore together, grab spontaneous dinners, and feel like temporary locals rather than obvious tourists.

• Petronela from United Kingdom (9/10)

  Everything was as expected on pictures expect the pool situation. The, size of bed was good , cleanliness and location of the apartment was good as only few minutes away are plenty of restaurants and 20 minutes walk to the beach. Was quiet during night and quite touristy the complex which lead to some noise during day or middle of night (one one occasion) when people were leaving which can be disturbing if sleeping. Apart of that we were happy with everything overall.

  Nice apartment. well-appointed. Good size Had everything necessary. Nice shower, comfy bed, efficient air-con. Quiet as well although it's only a five minute walk to restaurants bars etc, and a nearby large supermarket. The old town is 10 minutes away, the marina is about a 20 minute walk
  Excellent hosts, everything was very well handled. I was given an out of hours number to call should there be any problems. I arrived quite late but it wasn't an issue, just clear instructions and a key in a lock box.
