Ras and Ali were superb hosts and excellent communicators - in a league of their own! They arranged a very helpful airport pick-up& the driver was great too. As a solo woman traveller, I found the clarity of communication reassuring. The flat was wonderful, more spacious and far lovelier than I’d anticipated - I felt immediately at ease. It had everything I needed, was spotless, comfortable, and in a perfect location. I’d not hesitate to stay here again. The excellent food market was a 3-minute walk, the cathedral was nearby, as were plenty of restaurants. The port (buzzing with life )was an easy ten-minute walk - it led to the beach. Ras sent bar/restaurant recommendations which meant I ate well! I recommend hiring a bike. I did, from Malaga Bike Tours & rental & cycled West to Guadalhorce Nature Reserve, which was brilliant, a really special place & worth visiting. I also cycled east to Pedragalejo, also recommended! Don’t miss Casa Aranda for the churros dipped in chocolate!
