Filippo's flat offers beautiful views of the city and was a perfect retreat for our weekend. I traveled with a friend to take a break, and found the location rejuvenating. Filippo greeted us and was very good with communication, but we did not see him again after check-in.
Quiet, gorgeous, and relaxing. We sat on the veranda in the evenings looking over the sea and never saw other people. The neighborhood is very quiet and residential. Be prepared to climb quiet a few steps from the street level to the flat, but 100% worth it for the location.
We are graduate students taking a break to study in a lovely location. It should be noted that only two of us were staying in the flat and we didn't realize that we should have specified that we would be using both bed, but Filippo was quick to supply extra linens for the sofa bed. The views out the windows were amazing and we spent a good amount of time relaxing, reading and studying on the veranda and in the living room. The neighborhood felt very safe and secluded. We were also a 5-10 minute walk to the beach straight down the hill, and 30 minute walk to the city centre. Great location and views.
The kitchen was well equipped with a full stove, cooking equipment, a water kettle, toaster, and a filtered water pitcher (you should not drink the tap water in Malaga) and restaurants as well as grocery stores are located at the bottom of the hill, which Filippo pointed out when we checked in.
