Mariano's apartment is in an excellent location, a few minutes walk from pretty much everything there is to see and do in Malaga's old town (and even the beach is no more than 10-15 minutes' walk away). The apartment is very large, with 4 very well sized bedrooms and 2 bathrooms which was really good for a large family like ours, and would also suit 3+ couples holidaying together. The kitchen is not huge, but there is no real need to eat in much with so many excellent food and drink options literally on your doorstep. Mariano was a great host, very responsive whenever we needed to ask anything, and full of good suggestions for where to eat like a local. Would definitely recommend this place to anybody who wants a very central base from which to explore all that the city has to offer.
