We had a pleasant and comfortable stay at María Jose's place. The apartment itself was as-shown - clean, organised and secure. We slept well with a comfortable bed and didn't want for anything during our stay. It is located a little out from the centre of Malaga but it was a simple and pleasant 15-20 minute walk. It doesn't put you right in the middle of where the majority of the restaurants and bars are, though there are a handful of places very nearby. We found this to be perfectly manageable and walked into town every day for the attractions/restaurants/etc (I believe there are decent bus links too though) and it would only really be an issue if you felt that you absolutely had to be right in the town centre and couldn't face the walk. The advantage the location does have is that it's very close to some of the beaches of Malaga - door to beach in two minutes. The neighbourhood felt quiet and safe, and there is a good-sized supermarket right at the end of the street. We never met the host in person but communication was quick and clear, and checking in and out was simple. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this apartment - particularly if you're looking for a good balance of nightlife and beaches during your stay.
