I can honestly recomend Carlos' place to stay in Malaga. In the apartament there is everything you could need - well equpped kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, even 2 bicycles and beach towels for your use. The flat is super clean, tidy and cosy. It is located just 10-15 minutes walking from city center. There is a lot of shops and cafes. And it is possible to find a place to park a car for free on streets nearby. We didn't meet Carlos, but we met Natalia - she is nice and helpful - even if we don't speak spanish and she doeasn't speak english we managed to communicate well with translator (if you speak spanish or french you won't have any problems). Staying in Carlos' apartament allowed us to enjoy the city and to calmly begin our holidays in Andalucia :)
