Just a few steps from the main square, this Malaga home is ideal for those who want the city's charms within easy reach. Inside, you'll find a functional space, and the Juliette balcony is a pleasant addition that compensates for being the couple sleeping on the sofa bed. Though the kitchen lacks an oven and a hob, we're not sure you'll notice – you've got a plethora of fantastic eateries nearby. And in less than ten minutes of walking, you'll find the Picasso Museum, Malagueta Beach, and plenty more.

Home truths:
*Your host operates several apartments here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
*This home was purpose-built for rentals, so it's not the most soulful or charming space.
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.
*You won't find an oven or hob here – though there is a microwave. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
*If you are staying for seven nights or more you'll have a weekly linen and towel change here.
*If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
