My parents and I needed a comfortable, clean, modern, well located place to stay as we embarked on our purposeful time in Malaga. Lydia met us on check-in and was kind enough to answer all of our questions (and there were many). Lydia's apartment is so comfortable and is a really sweet cosy home away from home. It has all the amenities necessary, is in a fantastic location - a great place as a springboard to explore the city and its surroundings. Not far from the airport at all either, or the intercity bus station or train station. Lydia's suggestions of local places to eat and areas to explore is spot on too and I don't recall there being any recommendation or suggestions that fell short of great. We filled our belly's with some of the most fantastic food and wine and sweet treats. I do believe that a great host can be the foundations of a positive experience and this is what we feel here.
When I do return to Malaga I certainly hope I'll get lucky enough to book Lydia's apartment, that is, if it isn't already booked out which I wouldn't be surprised if it was :)
