Staying at Carmen's place was amazing. It is a 10 min bus ride from everything you will need: the beach (yeah!), the old town(partying), the train station, the coach bus station and city tour pickup. The bus runs every 5 minutes and costs under £1 (and if you are coming home late past 11pm, a cab ride is £5.

You can easily take trips to Granada, Cordoba, Sevilla and the Costa del sol, easy to get to the airport too. Carmen is very friendly and super helpful as she is from the Andalusian area.

The flat is super big and the room a very spacious even for 2 people staying.It is quiet a night for a good night's sleep and there is lots of space for your luggage. The kitchen is fully equipped and Carmen is so easy going, you can make your meals and store food in the fridge. She keeps the flat super clean. There is a lovely balcony too. Wi fi is excellent and that was important to me as I needed to work on occasion.

I spent 3 weeks at Carmen's and I had a trip of a lifetime, she provided me with so many travel ideas and information that I was able to make good use of my time. I can't wait to go back to Carmen's and to Malaga.
