We had a great time in Malaga, and this was the perfect place to stay.
The apartment: Clean, comfortable, quiet; a kitchen you can really use. The terrace is a delight for breakfast, afternoon tea, or a last drink at night.
The location: Just off the tourist-heavy center of old Malaga, it’s a more lived-in neighborhood (literally three minutes’ walk to the core of the action), with markets and pharmacies. Also, it’s near Plaza de la Merced, which David made a point to direct us toward. It felt more real, more “Malaga,” than much of the tourist zone. We liked eating and drinking there – we had more fun, and our euros went further.
The hosts: David and Ines were great at communication, generous and obviously concerned that we enjoy our stay. In our case, airline delays caused us to arrive late, and David was very flexible about unexpectedly meeting us “after hours,” and very helpful about getting us settled.
