We had a great stay at Álvaro's place. We did self check in and check out, which helped us to be very flexible. The apartment is like on the photos, in very good conditions, very clean. It's in a very quiet and peaceful street, no noise at all. We had all the amenities inside which we needed. There's also a washing machine and clothes drying rack. The air conditioner is very strong. There was a strong smell inside the apartment due to some previous tenant probably frying fish, it was there even after many days, despite leaving the windows open. The wifi is extremely slow, around 1 Mbit/s, difficult to upload photos and forget about videos. It's enough for basic browsing though. We have received some very useful recommendations for sightseeing, restaurants, etc. and also the communication with Álvaro was very smooth in general. There's free parking in front of the house in the street but there is never any free place, so we went to the Indigo parking garage just one street away. It has a reasonable price, can be pre-reserved with a minimum of 1 hour before and the parking places are quite big.
All in all we had a great stay, it's a very good basis to explore Málaga, I would come here again with no hesitation.
