Hotel Details

Location

Located in the real heart of Málaga, a few steps from Plaza de la Merced and Picasso's birthplace, with an excellent location score of 9.8.
The apartment sits in the historic centre, placing you within a 7-minute walk of the Alcazaba, Malaga Cathedral, and the Picasso Museum (300 metres). La Malagueta Beach is a 16-minute walk away. The immediate area is packed with tapas bars (Casa Lola, El Tapeo de Cervantes, Garcia Taberna), restaurants, and cafés, all within a few hundred metres. Two supermarkets are a one-minute walk away. The central position means you can walk to all major monuments, museums, and the old town. Key collection is nearby for those arriving by train from the airport. Free parking is available on site but needs a reservation - a massive advantage in this pedestrian-heavy zone.

Accommodation

A spacious 1-bedroom apartment with a separate living room, a large private terrace, and city views.
The accommodation comprises one bedroom, a living room with a sofa bed, and a bathroom with a shower and hairdryer. The fully equipped kitchen includes a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave, kettle, and coffee machine. The apartment is air-conditioned and has heating, a washing machine, a flat-screen TV, and a seating area. The standout feature is the large, private terrace, which is almost courtyard-sized, furnished with sun loungers, a dining table, and an outdoor shower - it effectively doubles the living space. The apartment is on a floor served by a lift, making it accessible for wheelchair users who can walk short distances. Sound insulation is good, ensuring a quiet stay despite the central location. The terrace gets sun and shade throughout the day, useful in hot weather. The unit has two beds (one in the bedroom, a sofa bed in the living room).

Dining

No breakfast service is available, but the apartment has a full kitchen and is surrounded by tapas bars, restaurants, and cafés within a one-minute walk.
The apartment does not offer breakfast or a restaurant, but the kitchen is fully equipped with a stovetop, fridge, microwave, kettle, and utensils for preparing meals. The dining table on the terrace allows for outdoor eating. Guests wanting local cuisine will find numerous tapas bars and restaurants directly around Plaza de la Merced, including El Tapeo de Cervantes, Casa Lola, and Trattoria Lorenzo, all within 0.3-0.5 km. Supermarkets are a one-minute walk away for groceries. For a quick coffee on the terrace, the coffee machine and kettle make it easy to enjoy breakfast at the apartment.

Facilities and Services

Free Wi-Fi, free on-site private parking (reservation needed), lift, tour desk, and a paid airport shuttle.
Wi-Fi is free and available throughout the apartment. Free private parking is available in the on-site garage but requires a reservation - a rare asset in the city centre. A paid airport shuttle can be arranged for an additional charge. The property has a lift, making it accessible for wheelchair users (with limited walking ability). A tour desk is available to help plan your stay. The apartment is allergy-friendly and has a designated smoking area outside. The key collection process is smooth, with a nearby office; check-out is simple (key left in the apartment). Communication with the management team is responsive. Note that only two towels are provided initially, so request extras if needed.
