We were able to get to Diego’s flat in 23 minutes from the malaga central station (it would have been quicker if not for roadworks that blocked a bit of the pavement).
Diego was very prompt with replying to my messages when we arrived at the airport, and he met us promptly at the flat, although we were quite late.
The flat was warm, inviting, and clean. Everything that a tired traveller needed was to hand, and the beds were very comfortable (my daughter and I shared the sofa bed and niece slept in the double on the mezzanine).
He provided us with a map and a shortcut into town (we walked there in 6 mins), and recommended an area with a good choice of different restaurants.
I would definitely stay there again, and recommend it to anyone.
