I had a great time staying at Pablo's during my stay in Malaga. The apartment is in a quiet but bustling neighborhood just 20 minutes walk from old town. The neighborhood is a great place to get a taste of the local lifestyle in Malaga away from all the tourists and attractions. It is just off the main road and within a 5 minute walk to a carrefour, lots of convenience stores and fruit markets and great local restaurants, perfect for those nights where you don't want to fight the crowd in old town. It was a quick train ride from the airport to the near by station, then about 20 minute walk to Pablo's place.
The place is small but comfortable for a short and sweet trip to Malaga. There is a private bathroom and a few small amenities such as a fridge, microwave, coffee maker and a variety of basic plates and cutleries. He also provided a hair dryer and hair curler in the bathroom as well! The room is located on the ground floor, with the window opening onto the main street. You can hear everyone walking by but it is a very quiet neighborhood so it didn't feel noisy at all.
Pablo is helpful and responsive and I am happy to have this unique opportunity to make a new travel friend! He gave great suggestions and was always there for anything I needed, including a few late night calls asking for him to come with the spare key (Gracias!). It was the icing on top of a great trip to Malaga.
