Alex was great to communicate with. He met us at the flat when our train got into Malaga, gave us our keys and showed us around the flat, then walked us down to the market so we could get something to eat.
The flat is very spacious and is in an ideal location in Malaga. It's easy walking distance from wherever you would like to go and is on a quiet street. Even when there was something going on outside, you couldn't hear it from the bedrooms which are at the back of the flat, quite a long way from the street.
Everything you need is in the flat - including a hair dryer (when I discovered that mine wouldn't work in Europe, Alex went out and bought one!) We didn't do any cooking, but the kitchen seemed well equipped, and there is a decent sized refrigerator with a freezer for ice. The weather was hot and it was great to come back to the flat for an iced drink.
I can't really say enough about Alex's flat or Alex himself. He is the best kind of host. Whenever we needed advice or help he cheerfully gave it even though he works and is quite busy - and that included mailing me back some jewelry I forgot in a drawer when I left. Lovely person, lovely flat - you won't regret it!
