When it comes to location, it doesn’t get much more convenient than this Malagueta apartment. From here, it’s just a short stroll to museums, galleries and restaurants, while the beach is also within walking distance. It’s worth noting that the rooms are lacking in natural light and the views aren’t the best, but you will find a covered terrace and family-friendly rooms. Your host can also organise a range of excursions and cultural experiences – perfect for those looking to connect with the authentic spirit of the city.
