We have been traveling for the past 3 months on this trip and this is one of our most favourite places that we stayed at. It is difficult to pinpoint why, but I think that it is the combination of many factors including location, general utility of the apartment and available storage so we could properly unpack our suitcases, access to a useful outdoor space, cleanliness, friendly welcome by the host, knowledgeable advice about local customs, and we liked Malaga (which always helps in our attitude towards the accommodation). Exploring some of the local eateries and shops in the neighbourhood in addition to the obvious ones in the tourist areas added to our overall experience of the city. We would stay here again, should our travels bring us back to the area.
