We arrived in Spain as neophytes to both the country and the Air BnB experience. What a fortunate coincidence to have Carmen as our first host. She was attentive, gracious and responsive but never intrusive.
Carmen's apartment became our neighbourhood for touring Malaga and spreading out to Gibraltar, Grenada and Sevilla. It is very handy to the Malaga city bus service which takes a back seat to no other transit system in North America with its on board GPS maps and rolling screen schedule which it makes it very easy to get around. Her neighbourhood was very quiet and the church square close by was well used by families and neighbours. You never felt concerned for your safety.
Her apartment is well appointed and fully equipped. Even though we were there in a cold February, the rooftop terrace was a delight in the afternoons for coffee and the pastry treats available from the bakery just around the corner. Supermarkets and banks are within a two block walk.
Her apartment is about a ten to fifteen minute walk from the historic centre of Malaga and the many restaurants and museums. Another five minutes and you are on the beach.
It was a delight to have stayed with Carmen and one that we can heartily recommend.
