Sitting right next to Mercado del Carmen – famed for its tapas – and within walking distance of the Alcazaba de Málaga, this practical apartment doesn’t have too many bells and whistles, but its centrality and functionality tick a lot of boxes. A sofa bed in the living area offers flexible sleeping arrangements and the communal rooftop terrace is a nice touch too. The kitchen isn’t the biggest here, so you’ll want to take advantage of the many restaurants and bars nearby, and if you’re looking to explore further afield, the apartment offers handy paid parking.
