This place has a good vibe. I felt at home. The communication with Fred's been accurate and nice. I made new friends here directly. Also I felt enough space and privacy to be with myself. The internet works perfect. Oven & microwave in the kitchen, all you basicly need is available. For the Dutchies: spanish-dutch&dutch-spanish dictionaires are in the livingroom. And all kind of books in English, Spanish and even Chinese. Ofcourse tv & a nice balcony.
Enough towels and blankets. In the practical bedrooms is enough storingspace. There are 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. So I only had to share with one other person. And you can shower with warm water (that's not always the case in Spanish houses.) Washingmachine works perfectly. It's 1 minute away from the beach. You can walk 5.4km to the historic citycenter. Or take the bus (3 and 11. +/- 20 minutes.tip: download App EMT Malaga). Bus is cheap. You can pay cash or travel with a trajeta (card). At every tabaccoshop (there're everywhere) you can buy and upload those. Card is €2 investment and you pay €8,50 for 10 single rides. You only have to check in and get out of the bus where ever you want.
El Palo is a nice neighbourhood and there are 2 supermarkets and many small stores, restaurants. A perfect accomodation for short and longer stays. I went to one of the languageschools in the centre. Other people from that school that stayed in the city sometimes had to deal with the noise of the nightlife. Here in el Palo it's peaceful at night. Málaga feels safe. I am a female in her 30s who stayed for 1 month.
