Having stayed in Cruz’s apartment for six weeks (Sept/Oct 2017) I have no hesitation in recommending the apartment itself to fellow travellers.
It is a good sized one bedroom apt. with a big and comfortable double bed. The apt. is perfect for two people but can easily accommodate four if the sofa-bed in the living room is used. It is tastefully decorated with neutral colours and with art and prints on the walls. It has the feeling of a ‘home from home’ rather than a rental apt. All that Malaga has to offer, be it culture, sightseeing, shopping, resturants/cafes and night-life are within a couple of minutes walk. If the beach is your thing, rent a bike (2 bike rental shops on the same street as the apt) or walk 20-23 mins to the nearest beach. There are two grocery stores very close by. If you wish to have a night-in and choose to make dinner yourself you will find that the modern kitchen is, apart from the complete lack of long kitchen knives of any description, fully equipped.
As some other reviewers have mentioned, there is noise from the busy street below and occasionally from other apartments in the complex. The bedroom is at the rear of the apartment and faces the inner courtyard. Closing windows and doors helps.
My only opportunity to meet Cruz was on the night of my arrival and both she and her partner where very efficent.
