We are just back after a great week in Malaga! This apartment is very well situated for getting the most out of your holiday. 20 mins to the beach one way and 20 mins to the bus/train station the other. The apartment is fully air conditioned i.e. units in both bedrooms and the living area. It is on a busy street but is very quiet inside the apartment. There are lovely bars and restaurants within a 2 min walk. I was there with my sister and we'd happily go back, Luis is a great host and always contactable if needed.
We loved this apartment. It was our first stay in Spain and our favorite. The owner is very helpful and the hospitality is outstanding. The apartment was clean and well equipped. It has four terraces so you can go to either for your level of comfort. The front rooms are a little loud, but that was because there was construction going on, and not the owners fault, but most was done during the day and we were out and about by then :). We liked standing at the front terraces to drink some wine and watch the action on the street. There is a grocery store close by and many places to eat. I just loved it here and would recommend it to everyone!!! Thank you thank you! I would go back in a heart beat. Perfect location!

The two bedroom apartment is on the third floor with a small lift. It was very comfortable and clean, with a great sunny terrace from the master bedroom. Wifi works well. Everything is nearby and Luis, the owner is very helpful. I would recommend it, -( maybe not for small children as it has a staircase) and will definitely return.

I really enjoyed my stay in this apartment. It's on the top two floors of an old house on a street that runs along the route of the northern wall of the old city of Malaga. The building has a (slow) lift - but this is better than climbing the stairs! - and the apartment has two bedrooms (with double beds) and two terraces (and a sofabed in living room). The main bedroom has a beautiful terrace facing south - with a table and chairs and a very calming view of the red tiled rooftops. The second bedroom is smaller and has a narrow terrace facing to the north (and you can look down to the street below). The main bathroom is very good with a walk in shower and toilet and there is a downstairs toilet. The combined living room / kitchen works very well - with two small balconies opening to the street. Internet works well and the TV is quite up to date.
In summary, the apartment is very peaceful and relaxing (I was there in December - I imagine that you would need air conditioning in summer - and there are units in the main bedroom and living room). It is well located - you can walk south, through the old city, to the harbour and the bus network is very good. A Bici card (for city bicycles) is a very good thing to obtain in Malaga (EUR 10 - bring passport). You can get this at the bus company office on the main street (west of the main tourist office). The nearest bicycle stand in in Plaza de la Merced. There is also a nearby bus that takes you to the wonderful botanical gardens about 5km north.
Unlike a lot of rental apartments, this is the real thing in that the owners (a couple with one child) lived there until recently and moved to a new place and kept on the apartment for renting (i.e. they are not agents with a portfolio of apartments). Luis speaks excellent English and is very professional indeed - he made us feel welcome and provided good advice on cultural activities in Malaga.

We stayed 2 weeks in this penthouse apartment, perfectly located in the old part of Malaga with all the restaurants and bars within easy reach. It is hence not by nature a quiet place , but as it streches over 2 floors, the master bedroom points away from the street and opens to a nice roof terrace with particularly morning sun. It is located on the 3rd floor.We used it for our breakfast extensively !
The apartment is decently furnished and well equipped for a holiday flat. To the main beach it takes a 15 minute walk, Picassomuseum 5 minutes and the castle 10 minutes. There is another much more cozy beach , Pilo beach, which you can reach easliy by bus in 15 minutes.
Parking is, as everywhere in the old town a problem. Best is to try in the university neighborhood, about 10 minutes walk drom the apartment.
We can recommend this apartment, if you want to make Malaga old town your base for exploring the city and region
