My husband and I spent almost 3 weeks in Dick's apartment while we attended Spanish language school. Dick was very helpful in our dealings through email, even contacting one of our proposed schools to find out transportation options for us. The apartment was exactly like the photo and description, and it was spotless. The neighborhood is ideal for the tourist as everything is within walking distance -- the Cathedral, the Pza de la Constitucion, the Picasso Museum, the Alcazaba, the main pedestrian walking street (Marques de Larios), and even the tapas bars, as there are 2 below the apartment building and even more on the street around the corner. If you want to make some excursions to other places on the Costa del Sol, local buses are available nearby that go to the Central Bus Station where you can buy tickets for Mijas pueblo, for Torremolinas, etc.
