Málaga Mirage by Lovely Rentals Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Málaga Mirage by Lovely Rentals, you immediately get that “oh, this is nice” feeling — you know, when a place just feels right from the moment you step inside. The four-star property sits right on Calle Carretería in the heart of Málaga Centro, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better if you tried. I mean, you’re literally in the thick of everything that makes this Andalusian city so captivating, with the buzz of local life happening right outside your door.

The Heart of Málaga

What I love about this spot is how authentically Málaga it feels — none of that sterile tourist bubble nonsense. Calle Carretería is one of those streets where locals actually live and shop, so you’ll find yourself grabbing coffee at neighborhood cafés and wandering into little shops that aren’t mentioned in guidebooks. The cathedral is just a few minutes’ walk away, and you can easily stroll to the Picasso Museum or down to the port area without breaking a sweat. Actually, couples seem to really get this — the feedback shows they rate it especially highly for romantic getaways, and I can see why.

Your Home Base

The apartment itself strikes that perfect balance between stylish and livable. You’re not dealing with cramped hotel quarters here — there’s actual space to spread out and feel human. The kitchen is well-equipped enough that you could cook if you wanted to (though with all the incredible tapas bars nearby, you probably won’t). Each room feels thoughtfully designed rather than just thrown together, and the whole place has this clean, modern vibe that somehow doesn’t feel cold or impersonal.

Living Like a Local

Here’s what really sets this place apart — you’re staying in a real neighborhood, not some tourist district. The building itself blends seamlessly into the historic centro, so you get that authentic Málaga experience without sacrificing comfort. Recent guests consistently rave about the location, and after spending time here, I totally understand why. You can walk to the main sights, sure, but you’re also perfectly positioned to discover those hidden gems that make travel memorable — like the tiny restaurant around the corner that serves the best pescaíto frito you’ll ever taste.

Why Guests Love It

With a 9.7 rating, this place clearly knows what it’s doing. What strikes me most is how it manages to feel both central and peaceful — you’re in the action when you want to be, but the apartment itself is a proper retreat. The combination of that prime centro location, thoughtful amenities, and genuine local character creates something special. Whether you’re planning romantic evenings wandering the old town or just want a comfortable base for exploring Andalusia, Málaga Mirage delivers without trying too hard to impress. Sometimes the best places are the ones that just get it right.

Reviews of Málaga Mirage by Lovely Rentals

  • Juan from Netherlands (10/10)

    Excellent location, walking distance to everything, yet very quiet and relaxed apartment.

  • Tasnia from United Kingdom (9/10)

    The location is brilliant – walking distance to a lot of the touristy places. It felt safe as it was in a busy street but it wasn’t loud from inside the apartment. The apartment had a guide with instructions which were very clear and useful.

  • Marius from Romania (10/10)

    Very good location, close to the city center. Nice apartment, with everything you need. Bed was comfortable as well.

  • Salma from Morocco (8/10)

    We had a wonderful stay at this apartment! Everything was exactly as described—clean, well-maintained, and very comfortable. The location is perfect, close to all amenities and local attractions. The host was always available. It’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy the area. We will definitely come back!

  • Nienke from Netherlands (9/10)

    Perfect location: landmarks within a 10 min walking distance, many great restaurants, 20 min walk to the beach yet the street where the appartment is located is super quiet. Very clean and facilities were provided in great detail.

  • Aleksandar from Serbia (10/10)

    Very nice vibe of the place, very well equipped, in the city centre but in a quiet street with a lot of good affordable places to eat.

  • Victor from United States (10/10)

    Simply perfect

  • Weiming from Germany (10/10)

    Wir sind nachts in Málaga angekommen, und der Keycode hat einwandfrei funktioniert. Den Checkout können wir von 11:00 auf 14:00 Uhr verschieben, da unser Abflug erst um 16:00 Uhr ist. Zusammenfassend: Die Lage ist gut, die Kommunikation war hervorragend, die Einrichtung ist ansprechend – alles in allem sind wir sehr zufrieden. Vielen Dank!
