This modern apartment is a short walk from Malaga's train and bus stations, so it's very convenient for those who might want to use the city as a base and travel elsewhere. I made a day trip to Granada from here, starting off at 8 am, so it was really useful to have the bus station so close. The area has a buzz to it, with lots of restaurants and shops, but the lane where the apartment is located is quiet, with a church in front of it. The apartment is on the 4th floor of a 12 floor building and it has two elevators (important for those who have luggage). The sea is a walking distance, but tourist spots like the Alcazaba and the Picasso and Carmen Thyssen Museums are a little further, so if you have limited time and energy (like me), you may want to take a cab. My room was exactly as portrayed in the picture, spacious, with lots of storage space for my things. The common bathroom was large and so was the well stocked kitchen. Ale, who is a professor at Malaga University, doesn't live in the apartment, but he has a friend who acts as a caretaker and was there to receive me. Ale himself dropped by in the evening to take me out in his electric car for Spanish tapas, which was really kind of him and far beyond the call of duty I thought. He's a very patriotic citizen of Malaga and really loves his city and wants to do all he can to promote it.
