With castles, fortresses, and tapas tours only a stone's throw away, this central apartment is ideal for explorers wanting to experience the best of Málaga. Found in a high-rise in the city's heart, the home is bright and surprisingly functional for its size. As the rooms are only separated by folding doors, it isn't the most private for two couples sharing, and probably best suited to a family. Though spacious enough for four, it could start to feel cramped with two more sleeping on the sofa bed, but it'll do as a well-equipped base. Besides, with Magueleta Beach a ten-minute walk away, you'll likely spend all your time out there.

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 . *Light enters through the interior patio, so if you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, remember to pack an eye mask. *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.
