Carlos' apartment fulfills the first three rules of real estate: location, location, location. But that's selling the place short. Carlos is a kind and extremely responsive host, and the apartment is wonderful. The natural light and the breeze you get from opening the windows is relaxing, and the heating/cooling units in all the rooms is a plus for when the outdoors aren't as cooperative. The kitchen is well-stocked and sizeable. Oh, and included parking in the middle of a highly populated, energetic city? That's a HUGE perk.
Most of us are here for the city of Malaga and this apartment is nearby almost everything you'd want to do in the city. You can walk to almost ever major attraction, including the Museo de Malaga (highly recommended), the Alcazaba, the Catedral, and Parque de Malaga. There are also amazing restaurants nearby- whether it be the famous and Carlos-recommended El Pimpi for lunch and dinner, or the more chill Gloria Hoyos for breakfast and lunch. Mostly, the energy around the apartment is infectious. It's like being in a different version of New York.
I stayed during Semana Santa which was extra energetic. My family and I all slept easily because we sleep to white noise. If you're at all a light sleeper I'd recommend you do the same as the restaurants and clubs on square where the apartment is located does not sleep.
If I come back to Malaga, my favorite city in Spain, I will absolutely stay at Carlos' apartment again!
