Maria's place was great. Very centrally located, walking distance to all of the major sights in Malaga. Parking can be difficult for people bringing a car (parking garage close by is 2 Euro per hour and street parking is hard to find), so better for visitors without a car. Maria is very friendly, and the room is very quiet, which is amazing considering her building is right next to bars and restaurants that stay open late!
Bed is a little squeaky but not terrible. Room was a little hot with fan, but to be expected in Southern Spain. Overall great stay, would recommend to anyone.
