This bohemian apartment in El Palo is tiny but comfortable, just 2 blocks from the beach, and although it is near the main road and thus close to bus stops that will easily get you to the historic center of Malaga, there is not too much noise because it is on a pedestrian street and has new windows. Great hot water pressure in the shower, and an elevator for those who cannot climb 3 flights of stairs. I stayed twice, and in September the air conditioning worked well. In January the owner had left me a plug in radiator to augment the heating which I was glad to have. The owner is very responsive.
