Sitting right across from the Catedral de la Encarnación with beautiful views of it from its Juliet balconies, you’d be forgiven for thinking this apartment was heaven-sent. Perfectly positioned to enjoy glasses of Spanish wine while people-watching from its privileged spot, the living area is awash with light and the ideal place to gather for celebratory meals when you’re not sampling the local food scene. While you may have to contend with hearing the church bells ringing and some noise from passers-by, this central pad is primed for sightseeing, with Málaga Park, the Malaga Museum and Playa de la Malagueta all within easy reach.


Home truths:
*While there's a lift in the building to access the apartment, there are a few internal steps once inside. *If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *You won't find a dedicated desk here if you're travelling for work. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace. *A change of linens and towels is included every six nights. *Two of the bedrooms are overlooked by the building opposite. There's a chance you might see a neighbour or two through the window, so it doesn't feel completely private.
