“These flats are just off one of the main shopping streets in the pedestrianised town centre so just outside the door are shops and cafes. They are a little tucked away but G maps soon found them. The entrance can get slippy in the rain as it’s a slope. There is a lift (tiny) which worked well. Entrance is by code so no need for keys. The flat itself was very well appointed and spacious. The kitchen has an oven, microwave and washing machine. Plenty of towels were provided but a tea towel would have been useful. The flat (do em bed plus double sofa bed) is ideally suited for a couple or a couple with kids as there is no door on the bedroom and the shower is next to the bed with a glass door. It has TV and air conditioning. The drains are an issue so the loo smelled really bad every day. On departure you take your rubbish out but I couldn’t find where to put it. I would definitely come again with my partner but maybe not my Dad next time!”

“Had a wonderful time at Gabirol Apartments. The apartment was very clean and modern. We were helped by Maria who made sure we could check in early because our flight was early. The service was great. The apartment has a great location in the historic center near all the restaurants and only a 15 minute walk to the beach. I enjoyed my stay very much!”

“I had a really nice stay in Gabirol appartment last week. It's very good situated in malaga, in to the city center, and historic center, not far from the castle and 10 min feet from the beach. Not too expensive, and the appartment is large with a great kitchen and bathroom ! Really beautiful !”
