We've visited Malaga a number of times, each time staying in AirBNBs outside the city itself.
This time, we wanted to stay _in_ the heart of the city.
After searching a fair bit, Lydia & Alfredo offered to host us in their lovely apartment; for our 1 1/2 wk stay here, it was just about perfect!
While planning our trip, as well as during our stay, they were kind, patient, & very responsive in answering questions in providing information about the apartment, and their city. In our AirBNB experience, such thoughtful interactions with hosts consistently make a big difference in the quality & enjoyment of your stay!
The flat's impeccably kept, and nicely furnished for living 'local'.
Just steps away from Plaza Merced and the Mercado, and just a few minutes' saunter into town, the flat's incredibly central to Malaga at day & night! Yet, it's just far enough from the main thoroughfares to avoid the constant sounds of Malaga's nightlife.
If you're travelling with a car, the provided underground parking is very convenient, and road access to all directions is easy. The closest waterfront access is a 10 minute walk, and there are many more opportunities minutes away by car.
For a center-city stay, in clean, modern accommodations, with great hosts, I can highly recommend staying in Lydia & Alfredo's home.
