I lived in Malaga for many years and this was the first time coming back with my boyfriend. I wanted a good location and we couldn't have selected a better place. The apartment is quirky but very spacious and the views can't be beat in Malaga. If you haven't stayed in the city before, it's right on one of the main squares with stunning views of the square, the main shopping street Calle Larios, and even the cathedral. It's a central and fairly busy location but this square doesn't allow cars, so it was fairly quiet every night and you're high enough up that noise outside wasn't an issue. Noise inside - another story. We stayed for nine nights and had EXTREMELY noisy neighbors who were also renting apartments. They partied all night until 6am almost every single night. This is no fault of the apartment owners and I wouldn't want that to keep you from booking this apartment - it was just unfortunate timing for us. There are noise regulations so I could have called to complain if I wanted to. I chose not to.
Other than the noisy youth next door, we couldn't have asked for more -- except for the shower. Water pressure varied from decent to slow drip, and the hot water was hit or miss. Some days non-existent. It was very hot in July/August so the cold showers felt refreshing, but that water wouldn't be fun if you were there in the cooler months. Hopefully they can address this issue for the future.
Overall I'd give it a 9.5 and will recommend it to everyone I know. It was an excellent spot to settle in and enjoy the gorgeous city of Malaga and I know you'll love it too.
