We had stayed at Gary's apartment before, so knew what to expect in terms of the apartment and it's location. It was just as good as previously with extras which were really great eg bottled water, soap, shampoo etc ...even sun cream, all much appreciated. The location is excellent, quiet and just a little way from the 'main' drag so you can avoid the crowds and enjoy the more authentic local bars and restaurants. Having said that everything is within a short stroll including the town beach or you can catch a bus to quieter beaches, which we did a couple of times. There is a new supermarket nearby which is open all day, everyday which is quite unusual for Spain. We also enjoyed eating at Buenavista, a new restaurant just a stone's throw from the apartment. We didn't do any of the museums/galleries this time but they are all pretty much within walking distance.
As before everything went very smoothly, I would not hesitate to recommend this apartment for your stay in Malaga.
