As indicated, Andalusia requires extra check-in protocol with the host, but I'm so glad for it because it was such a treat to get to meet Pia in person at the front of our stay. She and Ron are top-tier Airbnb hosts, from the curated restaurant recommendations and local resources and QR code to quickly access Wi-Fi to the great communication, warm welcome and overall excellent space that is less than 15 minutes walking from old town Málaga. We were celebrating and anniversary (and my birthday) and this was our last real night of a two-week trip before our train return to Madrid for our flight home. Thanks to Pia's warmth, hospitality and wonderful apartment, it was a terrific stay. We definitely wished for another night or two.
