Neil was a great host, when he knew we were arriving late he offered to get groceries for us as the shops would be shut. He lives upstairs so is readily available. The house is calm and quiet with a lovely outside space. We had young kids and no car, so going up and down the hill to the beach by foot was doable but a touch longer than ideal . The beach and boardwalk are nice, and taking the bus to Malaga is easy, but taxi is as easy and not expensive.
