We stayed here twice in October. Rafa is an exceptional host. We had really good conversations (he speaks good English). He is flexible about arrival time, and made a considerable effort to enable us to book our second visit. He booked taxis for us, as the taxi company had no English speakers on the phone, and our Spanish isn't good enough.
The apartment is full of character, with some old furniture and some new. We loved being in it. The kitchen and shower rooms are fine (no microwave, though). It did get noisy at night one weekend, with fiestas going on, which was certainly very Spanish.
The location is wonderful, looking over the Plaza, with plenty of cafés and eating places nearby. Only a few minutes from the cathedral and the Picasso Museum. Calle Marques de Larios, a prime shopping street, is off the next corner of the Plaza. If we went back to Malaga, we'd definitely want to stay here.
