Málaga in general, and this area in particular, is in motion and 'under construction'. There are magnificently renewed old houses, completely renovated inside and out, next to almost ruins with missing windows and full of grafiti. Don't be put off by the looks of it in the city, Victoria's apartment has everything you need, you don't have great views to outside but that also means there is no heat coming in. Very well equipped kitchen, small but functional bathroom. 5-10 min walk to the lively centre of the city, but no noisy disturbances. Great place !
