We’re looking to swap our large colonial apartment in the historic center of Málaga for a home in Lisbon or any other city in <1000 km distance to Malaga, anytime between April and September, for at least one month. Doesn’t have to be anything big, a nice studio would make us just as happy!
Our place is right next to Plaza de la Merced, 10 minutes walking to the port, 15 to La Malagueta beach, and 1 minute to the historic center. It has two bedrooms, one we sleep in and one we use as a meditation room and dressing room, plus a home office with a sit-stand desk, walking pad, monitor and a good work chair. The living room has two balconies, a TV, dining area and a sofa bed. Kitchen and bathroom are fully equipped, and since we work from home the WiFi is fast and reliable.
We love Málaga deeply and aren’t planning to leave, but we’ve been dreaming about experiencing what it feels like to actually live somewhere else for a while, not just visit. A home swap feels like the most beautiful way to make that happen.
One thing worth mentioning: we have two cats. They’re calm, well-behaved and would travel with us. If you also have a pet coming with you to stay in our home, that would honestly be the perfect match! 🐱
Feel free to send us a message if you’re curious or want to know more!
