Brian is an excellent host and the book of recommendations is really helpful. The Nespresso machine with some complimentary capsules was an extra special nice touch. We'd been to Malaga before and our favourite bar (La Recova) is about 3 mins down the street. Location is pretty perfect in the old town. It's really quiet in the (newly built) apartment block. There's no conventional oven, but there's a microwave and hob and a large fridge freezer. Internet signal was really strong throughout our stay. Netflix is provided which was a nice bonus. Only thing to watch is that we put the plastic clothes dryer outside one day (outside the front door to the aprtment) with some towels drying and were told we shouldn't have by the caretaker, but not a problem of course once we knew. The pool is shallow but perfect for our kids who loved it and was open in November. We'll be back here like a shot as soon as we get chance.
