The apartment is really close to the beach. It is quite a charming apartment. I liked the rainfall shower. As mentioned in the posting, the apartment is part of a larger apartment where the hosts live. This apartment has a separate entrance. So the hosts are quite easy to reach. I was having trouble opening the door on the first day and they were right there to help. This also makes the check-in much easier for both parties. Francisco is quite responsive via instant messaging as well. They also offered a lot of advice on what to do in Malaga. Overall, I would recommend this apartment to my friends.
