I chose this place because I went to Spanish classes for one week at Enforex which was located just down the street. I have not regretted it for one minute. Yes it is located away from the city centre, but buses go there about every 5 minutes. I even once walked to the city centre which was an amazing walk (about 45 minutes). In addition, the neighbourhood where the apartment is located offers enough restaurants and supermarkets. The bus stop, closest supermarket, restaurants and beach are all within a 5-minute walk. A walk to the El Palo neighbourhood is also very recommended!
The apartment itself was even bigger than I thought it was based on the photographs. The kitchen has a 4-pits stove, a big refrigerator, a dishwasher an washing machine. The couch was very comfortable and they even provided a little blanket! The bathroom, and the rest of the house, was very clean. There was not a lot of noise because the apartment is located a bit away from the main street. The only downside is that you have to walk up quite a 'hill' before reaching the apartment. Most of the times it should not pose a problem, but beware with difficult luggage or if you have reduced mobility.
The communication with Rocío and Francisco was very good! They had already sent me information about Málaga like maps, city guides and recommendations for going out before I even left for my trip. I did not meet them, but they kept in touch with me to make sure I had everything I needed.
I would definitely want to come back one day!
