A friend of the host made us welcome. The flat is very cosy but has everything you need. You could self cater if you wish, there is a good butcher opposite and a supermarket 50 metres away. There are some excellent cafes / restaurants within easy walking distance at the harbour and centre of Malaga.
The flat's location was perfect for us, just cross a small road and you are on one of the loveliest beaches in Malaga - Malagueta. The promenade is a great place to wander by the sea but even better to use bikes to explore the coast to the West.
We particularly enjoyed a city cycle tour round old Malaga which allowed us to fix the landmarks and enjoyed hearing some of the history of Malaga. Later we would go back and revisit the market, the oldest wine bar in Malaga and had a great meal at El Pimpi.
