First thing's first: the location of this apartment couldn't be more central to Malaga's historical center. It is in the middle of its building which keeps the noise of the streets away, yet when you open the door to go out for the day you are right there, with restaurants, bars, and shops a few steps away. The metro is a 10 minute walk, and the train station is another 5 minutes after that. There is a private little courtyard inside the entrance of the apartment, with indirect light, almost like a large skylight but without glass. If it rains it comes in, but it doesn't wet the interior of the apartment itself. The kitchen is modern if not sparse, so when I went to actually cook there were few essential utensils. You could tell people who stay here don't cook. There is an induction stovetop though, which I was excited about because I'd never used one before. Coffee is ready in just a couple of minutes! Large screen TV works, and while the place could use some more homey touches like carpets and art on the walls, it is a very nice place to stay. Jorge does not live here, nor does anyone else; it has been built to be used as a rental, hence the lack of those little creature comforts. The one reason I am giving this rental four stars, which I am hesitant to do since the location is so amazing, is because the windows only look out to the courtyard, not the real outside. There is no direct sunlight, no view of a street, no breeze to catch. We were there when the temperature was comfortable outside so we didn't need to use the AC (which is provided), but I would've liked to even see some sky to know what sort of day it was! Anyway, we were there only four days so it wasn't unbearable, and choosing to stay in an Airbnb instead of a hotel knowingly brings its own quirks, some fun and some not so. Jorge is very sweet, and wants your stay to be a good one, and pointing out some basic places to go and shop on a map when we arrived was very helpful.
