What to say about Antonio. Well probably the best air bnb host I’ve ever met. The hostpitality is outstanding! Now that’s not to say he will be in and out checking up on you. Antonio has created 2-3 folders worth of information for you to browse at your leisure. The kind of things only people who live in Malaga know. You have everything from local breakfast & restaurant ideas, day trips, the best beaches even the nearest police station number. Not that you’d need it, the area is extremely safe as is Malaga central in general. We had no trouble walking home but mainly used the scooters which are dotted all over the city. Tip! Be sure to download apps called wind & Uber they will give you access to these cheap 20mph scooters that you can use to wizz around the city in style. If you still have questions fear not for Antonio is always on call on WhatsApp (my preference) because that’s the type of service he gives when you stay here . He is a wealth of knowledge and always happy to give advice and answer any questions you may have very promptly.
All that aside the apartment is very comfortable. My parents stayed in a hotel this trip and it was basic in comparison. Here we had a big smart tv with all the trimmings, including board games, cards, snorkels ,beach towels, rackets, sun loungers ,parasols not to mention the apartment comes with black out electric blinds a fully functioning modern kitchen with some complimentary Malaga beer what more could you want!
To summarise, the apartment is lovely, as is Antonio and his family. His mother lives next door but she is very quiet (we never seen her) and even washed my clothes upon sliding the wash basket over to her door. What topped our experience was that we never felt lost in the city with all the local tips you get. So you never waste any time wandering about wondering what there is to do , every single place of interest within Malaga and close by is detailed in the folders Antonio provides and reiterated by him via text message if you do choose to liaise with him.
I will recommend this apartment to all my friends and family as I want them to experience Malaga in style and I know they will be safe in Antonio’s hands.
