We had a fantastic time staying Javier's beautiful home.
First a review of Javier- Javier was great at communicating in advance of our visit and when visited. Meeting him on the day of our arrival was easy - we texted him when we got off the train and was waiting for us by the time we arrived at the apartment. He offered 24/7 assistance - but everything about the apartment was perfect and he left us a great list of restaurant recommendations so we had no need to. Checkout was very easy - we just left the keys in the apartment and closed the door behind us.
Next, the apartment - which was great for our stay - although it is a studio - the layout worked really well and the bedroom area very much so felt like a separate space. All of the furniture was really comfortable as well. The bathroom and kitchen had top-line appliances.
And last but not least, the location -which was incredible. The apartment is smack-dab in the middle of the City and there are tons of restaurants and bars in the immediate plaza on which the apartment is located and dozens more within a 5 minute walk. We loved Javier's recommendations of El Gato (the restaurant conveniently below the apartment) and El Pimpi (where we ended up eating twice it was so tasty.) Neither of us had been to Malaga before and we were extremely impressed - it is a beautiful, clean, charming city with absolutely delicious food and kind people.
We have already decided we must return and would certainly stay with Javier again.
