We stayed at Mercedes's apartment for ten days and it was really great. The location in the old town off Plaza la Merced is really ideal for exploring Malaga and is only a 15 min walk to the sea. All amenities are to hand with loads of restaurants , bars and shops for everything you should need. It can be a little noisy into the small hours as there are bars below but if you choose a central location then you need to expect this. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and will return. Malaga is a lovely place for a visit.
