The location of this apartment is superb. It is 5+ minutes from the beach and restaurants in an area of Malaga (Pedregalejo) that is about 4km from the centre. The apartment is compact but highly functional and has a spacious balcony that provides good views of the water and harbour area (in the distance). The apartment is not in a high-rise building and so has a much more authentic feeling to it than typical tourist apartments. All communication with the hosts (Rafa and Clara) was fast, efficient, and helpful. If our paths bring us to Malaga again, we would definitely check to see if this apartment is available. The only caution concerns anyone with mobility issues -- there is a fairly steep climb (by steps or road) up to the apartment and so it might not be suitable for anyone who has trouble with this kind of terrain -- for the rest of us, it represents a very welcome daily workout.
