We had a great time in a great flat. Near the flat there are some supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants and bars. Also there are great opportunities for breakfast like Salón Florido Cafetería.
The beach is really close (5 minutes by foot) and beautiful. It wasn't overcrowded. At the beach there are lots of restaurants and bars. We recommend the fresh fish at Casa Manuel de la Lonja and Carrasco Restaurante (where they also have great Mojitos ;) ).
Rocio was flexible concerning the time for check-in and check-out. She was available all the time and very helpful. In the flat there is everything one could need.
To go to Málaga Center you need to go by public transport like bus (about 25 minutes) which is okay because you can see the sea nearly all the way.
We'll be back!
