María’s place is perfectly located for access to central Málaga - it’s an easy walk to the stores and restaurants and sights, and she also has bikes if you’d like to go a little further. The space itself was nice and clean and had everything we needed. Check the water heater upon arrival, as the previous guests had turned down the dial on it and we didn’t have any hot water to showe until the morning after we arrived (not the host’s fault). Once we had hot water, the shower was perfect. The bed was comfortable and the area around the apartment relatively quiet. One negative is the parking situation - we rented a car thinking we would have reliable parking, but the streets are CROWDED and it’s a free-for-all for parking. We drove around for half an hour or so several times trying to find a spot. Other than that, we were happy with our stay and the place was a great value.
