‘Montano Four’ Center by ELE Apartments

‘Montano Four’ Center by ELE Apartments Overview

First Impressions

‘Montano Four’ Center by ELE Apartments on Calle Montaño immediately gives you that “I’m in the real Málaga” feeling — not some touristy bubble, but actually where locals live and work. The building itself is pretty typical for this part of the city center, which I mean in the best way possible. It’s a four-star property that doesn’t try too hard to impress from the outside, but honestly, that’s part of its charm. You’re literally steps away from everything that matters in Málaga’s historic core.

Location & Neighborhood

This location is genuinely exceptional — I’ve stayed in quite a few places around Málaga Centro, and this spot hits that sweet spot where you’re central but not overwhelmed by crowds. The Cathedral is maybe a seven-minute walk, Picasso Museum even closer, and you know what’s great? You can actually walk to the port area without breaking a sweat. The street itself has that authentic Spanish residential vibe during the day, with locals going about their business, but it’s quiet enough at night that you’ll sleep well. There’s a reason couples rate this place so highly — it’s romantic without being cliché.

The Apartment Experience

These aren’t hotel rooms in the traditional sense, but proper apartments with everything you need for a longer stay. Each apartment comes with a full kitchen, which is honestly a game-changer when you want to grab fresh ingredients from the nearby markets and cook something simple. The room layouts are thoughtfully designed — not huge, but cleverly arranged so nothing feels cramped. I particularly appreciated the windows that actually open (you’d be surprised how many places skimp on this) and the decent Wi-Fi throughout.

Daily Life & Practicalities

What I really liked about staying here is how it made exploring Málaga feel natural and unhurried. You can pop back during the day if you need a break from sightseeing, store your market finds in the fridge, or just sit with a coffee and plan your next move. The building is secure but not overly formal — you get your keys and you’re set. Parking in this area can be tricky, but honestly, you won’t need a car once you’re here since everything is walkable or easily reached by the efficient local buses.

Why Guests Love It

The combination of that perfect central location with the independence of having your own space really works. You’re not dealing with hotel breakfast times or lobby crowds, but you’re also not isolated in some residential area far from the action. The 9.2 location score isn’t just marketing fluff — it’s genuinely earned. Whether you want to wander the old town’s narrow streets, grab tapas at the traditional bars nearby, or catch a train to other parts of Andalusia, everything starts from your doorstep. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel like you’re living in Málaga rather than just visiting it.

• Justin from United States (10/10)

  Very clean and beautifully furnished in a great location! The bedroom was nice and cool, dark, and comfortable. One of the best sleeps I’ve had in a long time!

• Karen from United Kingdom (10/10)

  Wonderful apartment stay! The apartment is beautifully decorated and really comfy and clean. Location was marvellous (10 min walk into centro) and close to some fab bar and shops. As it’s set back from a quiet street and has shutters on the windows, we had a really peaceful break, and some fantastic sleep. Would highly recommend and would consider staying again! 👏🏻

• Corey from United States (7/10)

  Very straight forward self check-in process with walk-through video. Perfect for a family as it was tucked away from old town, but still just 2 blocks away. Air conditioning was fantastic in the summer where it can reach 40C/100F.
