Mari is very quick to respond and helpful. Her place is spotlessly clean and very comfortable, with a great terrace. Mari is a very warm, caring person who is very welcoming to weary travellers and the area is a safe, family area. The little cafe bar below the apartment is no frills, but fun, friendly and delightful. Sadly the big cafe was closed when we visited. But there is a cafe for breakfast less than 5 mins away. The road is a bit noisy at night, not awful,but take ear plugs if you are sensitive to this. It’s 15 min walk into the centre of Malaga, there is also a circular bus, that stops less than 5 mins away.
