Nice and clean place. Ramiro is a good host. The area is, as described, a little bit on the outskirts of town, more real than picturesque so to say, but there are good communications into town and elsewhere (bus and metro) just a few minutes away, and there are cafes, restaurants, pharmacies, and grocery stores within reasonable distance. So, overall, good value for your money. The bed was a bit hard on my shoulders (but good for my back!), but that's a personal preference. Only thing that was a problem at all was the temperature; I was in Malaga in mid-January, and the apartment was quite cold, and the hot water in the shower was a bit on-and-off. However, I did not mention this to Ramiro, and if I had, he might have had a solution - just wanna point that out. And I slept very well either way - there were extra blankets so I wasn't cold in bed. Overall, this place is good value for your money.
