Our host was incredibly helpful, providing me with detailed instructions on how to get to/access the apartment. His communication skills were excellent and he very thoughtfully had wine and a few things in the apartment for our arrival, which was a lovely touch. The apartment is well located on a quiet street but yet is in the heart of city just behind the Plaza de la Merced. Everything is within walking distance. The apartment is beautiful and well appointed with all the modern touches that you will require for a wonderful stay. There is a small balcony, accessed by sliding glass doors, and you can enjoy views of the rooftops and mountains. We have been to Malaga many times and this is one of the best apartments we have stayed in - please do give it a try, you won´t be disappointed.
