Alvaro is a great host - friendly, quick to respond and very helpful.
The apartment is in a very quiet street a few minutes walk from Malaga centre in one direction and the train and bus stations in the other so it is super-convenient as a base for exploring Malaga and nearby towns. The apartment is modern, spotless, well-equipped and has a very comfy bed. Three small supermarkets are a few minutes walk away and the centre has plenty of good restaurants to choose from.
We used the train for a couple of day-trips to Granada (The Alhambra is stunning but you need to book tickets online a month or two in advance) and the bus to Antequera (the Dolmens are a must-see with a stunning new visitor centre).
We hope this apartment is available next time we visit Malaga!
