I really loved this apartment for so many reasons. First of all, Maryam, Carlos' daughter, is in charge and she is a warm and welcoming person. We were greeted with wine, and fruit, and the kitchen had lots of little things that made cooking a breeze. My cousin had unexpectedly met me in Malaga, so I had an extra person for 3 nights and Maryam didn't charge me or seem to mind.
The apt is stylish, well decorated, and really, we didn't want for anything. The location is superb, you can walk anywhere - to the beach, there are 2 supermarkets within a hundred metres, and behind you is Old town, full of museums, restaurants, tavernas and shops. Also near the apt is my favorite cafe in Malaga, Gloria Hoyos, where you can count on cool art and music.
I read some comments about the noisy bar downstairs. You are high up enough that it is, about 95% of the time, a comforting murmur, but I do recomment earplugs. Only once a week would it get a bit shrill, and I could set my watch by it, about 5am on a Saturday/Sunday morning. The Spanish do love their weekends!
I was there to work, and for some medical procedures. I also got the flu while I was there, and literally spent more time in bed than out of it and I can tell you, I was very comfortable. The bed was perfect. Too perfect, I didn't want to leave it! I do recommend this place wholeheartedly.
