The apartment and Diego as host were brilliant. The apartment is in a great, central location within easy walking distance to all the main historic/cultural sites in Malaga as well as taxis and public transport. The neighbourhood is great - there are tons of great restaurants and bars, and a number of supermarkets nearby. The apartment itself is just as it appears in the photos - it has everything you could need/want for your stay, including the basics to start you off without having to run to the supermarket (and that includes bottled water and a couple of beers, which is a nice, thoughtful touch!). Other notable aspects included great, strong wifi throughout the apartment, nice hot and strong shower (which is very important to me) and a large, comfortable bedroom with plenty of storage space. The apartment was very clean/spotless on check in.
Diego was a fantastic host from start to finish. He was extremely speedy in his responses from the moment I booked the apartment, and quickly provided answers to all of my questions in advance as and when I contacted him. Even though there was a check out the day I arrived, Diego was happy to let me drop all my stuff off while the apartment was being cleaned, and I was able to change/do whatever I needed to do while there. This was much appreciated after an early flight. Diego is clearly someone who loves his job and loves meeting people - which is a great combo for hosting a property. He provided lots of info re Malaga and was happy to answer any questions about Malaga, etc while I was there at any time.
I will definitely go back to Malaga and will definitely stay in one of Diego's properties whenever I do.
Thanks Diego!
