I stayed here by myself for a week in October. The apartment was absolutely ideal - light, airy, fresh, in a great location (a short 10-15 min walk to the Cathedral but not on a main road so not particularly noisy), and with all the basic utensils you could need (I enjoyed going to the local markets and cooking myself lots of suppers).
Irene is an absolutely fantastic host, getting back to me with any questions and queries promptly.
It might be slightly harder work walking to the beach in the heat of summer (around 30 mins), but in October it was a lovely walk and I didn’t want to be by the beach 24/7 anyway. It’s on the ground floor, but I didn’t find this a problem at all - I felt very safe and enjoyed listening into people’s conversations as they walked by with the window open during the day!
To note, the outside space isn’t especially usable (it perhaps looks more inviting than it is in the photo), but it’s really handy for washing/drying and to get some air flowing through the place.
All in all it was ideal. If I come back to Malaga I would certainly love to stay here again!
