Marisa is a lovely host and made us feel very welcome from the minute we arrived at her apartment . The apartment was immaculately clean and well equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay. She gave us extra towels to use at the pool and beach which was a really helpful gesture. When we arrived she had put a bottle of water in the fridge and some food items in the cupboard and we really appreciated that. There is a good big fridge freezer in the apartment so you can do a big shop at the beginning of your stay and keep frozen items for the whole stay. You should be aware that the air conditioning unit is in the living room and not in any of the bedrooms. This was a bit of an issue as a few of the nights we were there, the temperature outside was at 30 degrees after dark. There is a ceiling fan in 2 of the bedrooms and a floor fan in the other bedroom so this helps a bit. Marisa had compiled a helpful guide with basic information about public transport and things to do in Malaga. She also answered all of our questions about the local area. We used the Malaga Metro system quite often while we were there and it is really clean and comfortable with regular services running from the Universidad station on Bulevar Louis Pasteur which is about 15 minute's walk from the apartment. The metro runs from Universidad all the way into El Perchel station which is in the city centre, adjacent to the main train station of Maria Zambrano. From Maria Zambrano station you can take the RENFE train out to Torremolinos, Benalmadena and Fuengirola. A single ticket to Benalmadena from Maria Zambrano is about €2.10. The Renfe trains and the Malaga Metro services run until at least midnight so you can use them to get back home after an evening out. We also used the Cabify app to book taxis during our stay. Cabify taxis are cheaper than local Malaga taxis to get into and out of the city. We also visited Plaza de la Merced which is a nice square to hang out in and get your photograph taken beside the statue of Pablo Picasso. From Plaza de la Merced it is just a short walk to the Pablo Picasso museum and a few more minute's walk takes you to Malaga Cathedral which is a very impressive building. The Picasso museum has a free entry arrangement from 6pm on Sundays. There was a large queue for the free entry when we went but the queue moved quickly and it is worth waiting 20 minutes to see the paintings and read about the history of the painter and the museum. The cathedral is not open all the time, but check out the mass times and you can join the service and have a look around afterwards.
