We have visited Malaga many times and love the city for its brilliant sea front location and its mixture of exuberant street life and museums. In the past we have stayed in the city centre, where all the action is, and out in El Palo where you have a laid back beach atmosphere. Both locations are great, but we have to say that Javi's apartment has the best of each as it is almost in the middle. The apartment is just a hundred metres from the beach, but also right next to a bus stop that will take you for 1.30 euros to either the city centre or the fish restaurants at El Palo. We tend to hire bikes from Malaga Bikes, as cycling around Malaga is an absolute treat, but the bus service is excellent. The apartment itself was much better than expected. Super clean and very well equipped, with good shops and restaurants in walking distance. We will definitely be returning.
