Located in the historic centre of Málaga, this stylish apartment places you in a prime spot for exploring the city. A short stroll from the Cathedral of Málaga, the Picasso Museum and the Thyssen Museum, you've got plenty to fill your days here. At home, it's bright and modern with Juliet balconies that open up the living area and invite the street sounds into the apartment. It's worth noting that two guests will be sleeping on a double sofa bed and you won’t find enough space for eight around the dining table. With that in mind, we recommend it for a maximum of six people.
