The apartment is extremely well located in the old part of Málaga. The walk to La Malagueta beach is about 10 minutes, and as long as you don't get turned around in the pedestrian only part, the Interactive Music Museum, Picasso Museums, and the Moorish castle are all 5 minutes away. David and Natalie were kind enough to spend a few minutes pointing out places of interest on the map and giving rough us an idea of how far away each place was which was very helpful.

Most ways into Malaga are about 15-20 minutes away by bus or taxi, but the directions that David and Natalie provided were very helpful indeed. I would recommend making sure that you ask the driver if the bus is headed to Plaza de la Merced though, since if you get on the right bus, but on the wrong side of the street you wind up going on a much longer ride.

The apartment itself is charming in the way that only 130 year old buildings can be. We liked the ambiance a lot, but if you are looking for new and fancy, this may not be the place for you. One thing to note, if you are a light sleeper, there is a plaza with bars/restaurants a few stories below the bedroom windows. Since this is Spain, you can pretty much guarantee that they will be open quite late.
