This was an awesome location for two people who want to explore old Malaga. Our host was very good with communication, pleasant, and made us feel welcome..
The apartment was exactly as advertised. Clean and quiet. It is a 5-10 minute walk to Plaza de La Merced and from there a lot of the features of Old Malaga are meters away. Food, drinks, shopping, history, waterfront; it’s all there.
Local to the apartment (<200m) are grocery store, coffee shop (awesome), and the bus stop (from which you take the #1 or #C1) to get downtown if you don’t want to walk, to the main train station, or the main bus terminal. Buses are frequent.
Our host recommended Cortijo de Pepe on the Plaza de La Merced as a good spot for tapas and drinks. It was awesome! Good wait staff and excellent tapas. Highly recommend!!
