Alex's apartment is beautiful with a modern but cozy style. It is only 5 minutes walking to and from the very busy center, in that sense it allows us enough proximity while experiencing a quieter more "real" neighborhood of Malaga surrounded by locals. The apartment is on a higher floor and overlooking the capuccine square and surrounding hills gives it an out of city feel to it.
Alex himself is a great host, giving us a very warm welcome and the best tips around the city. He went out of his way organizing taxis for us at much better rates than we would have found otherwise.
