Ali is indeed a great host. He facilitated check-in with the locker code and later doublechecked if everything went OK. He provided me with the hair dryer even though it was not listed as available on Airbnb page. He also let me check out later on the departure date.
Apartment looks newly renovated and is clean. It is located on the ground floor with two terraces on the sides. Walking distance to Malaga center. Neighborhood is safe.
