Andrea's apartment is very spacious and traditionally decorated. It is situated in a great friendly community where you instantly feel like a local rather than a tourist. There are plenty of local cafes, restaurants, bars and shops within a few metres of the building. Also, if you're not familiar with Malaga, do not be put off by the distance from the historic centre. The fantastic Malaga metro has a stop just one minute's walk from the apartment (8 mins to the central station) or if you prefer the bus then these are plentiful and also only one minute's walk from the apartment. If you are lucky enough to be staying a little longer then the beach is just a short walk through the West Park which is a great quirky park to visit anyway. The apartment has air conditioning units in the master bedroom and the living area. Both units are very efficient (we stayed during a long July-August heat wave) and kept us very cool. The two rear bedrooms have fans only, but because these rooms do not get the full glare of the sun during the day they do not actually get too hot. Andrea was a fantastic host who allowed us to check-in before lunchtime because we had a very early flight. She also delivered a brand new hairdryer to us because the old one had been taken by a previous guest (shameful) and arranged for the new AC unit to be fitted in the master bedroom when we mentioned that it was getting too hot to sleep in there. She also provided us with plenty of toilet rolls on arrival and extra pegs for the washing lines. The apartment is not perfect but it is definitely authentic. If you want to live like a local then book Andrea's apartment and you won't be disappointed.
