    Very convenient location of the apartments. Clean and beautiful two bedrooms and living room. But the best part is that the apartments were designed by a clearly skilled designer. Lovely apartments, just like the owner herself. City center on a quiet street opposite the cathedral. There is a taxi rank nearby. Near the park and the embankment. All major sights can be visited on foot. From the hostess a gift, a bottle of wine.

    Absolutely STUNNING. Gorgeous apartment which felt like you lived in a high end condominium in Malaga. Perfect location surrounded 360deg with busy, upbeat, contemporary restaurants- coffee shops - pastry shops - icecream bars etc. Multiple banks nearby. A shopping district which was gorgeous in itself and by night a perfect spot for dinner / drinks with great views, pretty people and street entertainment. The building as a whole felt new and designed perfectly. Lots of glass and art to decorate the place.
