After reading some reviews prior to our arrival, we expected Carmen to be a great host. However, she exceeded our expectations by anticipating our concerns with her sincere williness to help where ever possible. She is just truly a lovely person.
Malaga impressed us a lot more than we anticipated. The apartment was ideally located and the local neighborhood folks were most gracious. We are americans that had not been to Spain and to feel safe and apart of such a friendly environment was a real delight.
We found Malaga tough to beat with it's wonderful location on the Mediterranean, museums, great shopping, terriffic restaurants, the Alcazaba and a roman amphitheatre. The wharf area presents Malaga in an upbeat modern atomsphere in pleasant contrast to some of older parts of the city. Seville, Cordoba, and Granada seem strictly medival in many respects, while Malaga embodies the past and present quite nicely.
We highly recommend Carmen's place and Malaga as a great home base to explore the treasures of Andalusia!
