Short version, I highly recommend Nacho (great host who cares about his guests) and his apartment for any family that want to stay short or long term in El Palo (Malaga)
Now the long version, we stayed here for 5 weeks to get a feel on how it would be to live in Malaga as a family of 2 adults and 2 small kids (1 and 3). The apartment is in excellent location just a short walking distance from the beach, restaurants, supermarkets, veggie shops etc.. everything is on or around the corner. While, Malaga center is a short 20ish bus ride from right outside of the apartment. Since the apartment is on the top floor the views are fantastic, from one side have the view of the sea and the backside features a nice little mountain which I found out can be hiked. (great views btw)
Nacho went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We first reached out to him pre-booking to make sure that the internet connection is sufficient for us to work from the apartment (it already was) but he still went ahead and upgraded to the best plan available before we arrived which gave us speeds of over +600Mbps (very very fast).
When we arrived to the apartment Nacho met us there and helped us with the luggage and showed us to the parking garage where we kept our car, inside of the apartment the crib for our little one was already setup with sheets, a blanket and even a little stuffed animal. Nacho offered to drop a high chair as well which showed up the next day (all in brand new condition). Really, couldn't have asked for a much better setup for our kids.
Also the fridge and pantry were nicely stocked with several items including milk and coffee for the next morning! These little things that make a huge difference when we didn't have to try and find an open supermarket on a Sunday afternoon after a +5hr drive to get there.
The apartment was spotless and every-week that we were there Nacho dropped off clean and ironed bedlinen and towels. We never met Lydia (the lady that helps with cleaning) but she is absolutely amazing and the attention to detail was incredible.
If we make it back to Malaga in the future we will definitely be staying here again.
