Greg the owner is a nice guy. Quick to WhatsApp us with any questions.
The location is very good. We lived in a neighbourhood of friendly people, late opening corner shop, nice cafe/restaurant outside if you want to grab a quick, basic snack (cheeseburger is amazing after endless tapas). Beach is 15mins walk. Centre of town is 10mins. The big, cheap, very efficient coastal train network which runs to the airport and down the south coast, is a 20min pleasant walk (or 2mins in a taxi). Malaga itself is a high culture, cost efficient, friendly and safe adventure.
