Jose Maria was very welcoming, even offered me a cerveza at his restaurant when I first arrived. I even ended up eating in his restaurant which was very good! The apartment was small but very clean and very close to the beach and lots of restaurants and bars 30 seconds away. I didn't realize the apartment was so far from the city center so it was a bit of a walk so if I had to do over again would probably have chosen to be closer to the center. If you are planning on hanging out at the beach and easy access to bars and restaurants this is the perfect location! I really enjoyed my time in Malaga and the apartment really was perfect for what I needed:) thank you again Jose Maria!!
