On our arrival in Malaga we followed Regina's excellent directions to the apartment where she met us as arranged. She gave us relevant information, keys, supplied a map and told us where she lived (in the same building) should we need anything. Regina left some supplies for us like tea bags, coffee etc, which was great because we were exhausted after our journey and didn't want to stock up immediately.

The studio more than lived up to its description, in fact I think the photos didn't do it justice – it was much nicer 'in the flesh'. It is in a residential area with a few local shops (especially a great greengrocer). Although the apartment was not actually in the Historic area, it was very close – just a couple of minutes walk where you found an array of restaurants and bars, wonderful shops leading eventually to the Port area, beautiful gardens and a little further on, the beaches.

I would recommend good comfortable shoes because there is so much to see you will just want to keep walking. (There is a good bus service too if you're not in to walking). As mentioned on the website, there are building works just behnd the apartment but once we became accustomed to their existence it definitely was not a problem.

I forgot to mention the large sun terrace which although didn't have a view, was a complete sun trap and very private, you could say it was an extra room as it had table and chairs, a bed and fiesta lights which were very welcoming when we came home at night.

We would definitely stay in Regina's apartment again – it was really all so simple booking through Airbnb.
