Cristina was an excellent host who was always quick to reply to our questions about the apartment and Malaga. She and Raul even sent a list of helpful suggestions covering places to eat, drink and shop.
The apartment was perfect for our needs. A kitchen with everything you need, the living room was spacious and the bedroom had a large comfortable bed. There is plenty of storage if you need that.
The a/c quickly cooled the apartment which was needed in the heat of Malaga.
Outside the apartment there are plenty of bars, cafes and shops to suit any taste. You are right in the heart of the action and a short walk from the Picasso museum (a must!) and the alcazaba.
Some people have mentioned the noise on the street but it was no worse than an average European street which has a few bars and shops. We slept fine.
Finally I would recommend the bar/cafe Recyclo which is a 5 minute walk away with a excellent menu and good priced drink.
Thanks again to Cristina and Raul
