A newly renovated and very clean apartment. What more could you ask for? We were on an extended 2 month stay and we felt like we were at home. Comfortable beds are a priority for us and they were just that! The location was perfect because we didn't feel we needed to be directly in the historic center with all the hustle, bustle and noise. We regularly walked a circular route of 5km. First to the beach by way of Calle Ferrandiz 1.5 km, then on to the port for refreshments, meandering through the historic center and back to the apartment via Calle Victoria. If your looking for some greenery the mountain behind the apartment is an alternate route to historic center. Everything you need is within meters. Fruits and vegetables, Fishmonger, $ stores (Bazaar), Bakery/pastry shop, Butcher, BBQ chicken (pollo asado) and Dia supermarket. As another reviewer mentioned the location is safe and secure with other families living in the building. No worries in this regard. Maria José and her family are kind and lovely people. On arrival we were greeted by her son (with his girlfriend) who spoke English and they were very helpful; even waiting for us downstairs to help us with our luggage. Our first morning was made easier because our superhost had provided some essentials like water, milk, juice, coffee, tea, breakfast pastries, oil and vinegar. Since we were staying for two months there were 2 articles missing from the kitchen and Maria José and her husband (who speaks English) very obligingly brought them to us on our second or third day. On our departure, 2 months later, Maria José and her other English speaking son very kindly offered to drive us to the airport. Malaga is a great city, we were staying at a great place. Ideal for us!
