Dori organised a friend to let us in whose English was limited, but he was able to point out the supermarket, the internet, where things were in the apartment etc. Dori kept in touch with us and was available for any questions we had. In any event it was very easy to walk around the area and find the local shops, the beach and the way to and from the city on the buses. The apartment is large and very comfortable and is excellent for families. It has everything you need - even beach equipment and it is in a great location just across from the beach and a short walk to local shops, including supermarkets, bakeries, coffee shops etc and it is a quick bus ride into Malaga central. The pool in the complex is excellent as well. The apartment is quiet and the neighbourhood seems safe with lots of families and locals around. We had a car, but it really isn't needed unless you plan to use the apartment as a base for doing day trips - which we did. We had a wonderful time here and would love to come back again one day.
