Sitting pretty in an apartment building surrounded by museums, historical landmarks and tapas bars, this home is minutes from some of Málaga's best bits. Though privacy is limited due to the bedrooms only being separated by a partition door, the apartment is functional for its size and plenty comfortable for four. With two more guests on the sofa bed, things might feel tight, but it works, especially as a base for exploration. And if you're asking, what about the beach? Malagueta Beach lies only a kilometre away.

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. *At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area. With only a folding door between bedrooms, it's not the most private. *It's possible you may hear some noise from neighbours during your stay, as well as noise from the street . *You won't find a welcome hamper here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started. The nearest supermarket is a short walk away.
