The apartment is perfectly located in the old town. 5 minute walk to many tapas bars and cafes. 10 minutes walk to the beach and the main shopping area. Malaga is a beautiful city and this apartment is an ideal place to stay. We were a family with 2 children and a baby and we left our pram downstairs in the communal area, which was excellent as we had expected to have to carry it up to the 3rd floor. We did not find it noisy, there is double glazing and exterior shutters on the balconies. Ernesto is an excellent host.
