Alvaro was an excelente host. He responded promptly, gave good directions to the apartment, and was there to meet me upon arrival. He helped me get oriented- with useful & unique ideas about what to do in malaga. His apartment was as advertised- modern, clean, great air conditioning, everything you need to cook. It was next to the river which has a walkway that takes you right to the market and historic center of town. All appliances, shower, etc. worked perfectly. My stay couldn't have been better.
