Beautiful apartment in the old town, about three minutes walk from the nearby restaurants and bars. The flat itself is amazing; cool, well situated, quiet at night, roomy, and plenty of fridge space and large windows looking out onto the street. it was spotless, the bathroom was gorgeous, and at no point did we feel like we were lacking in terms of where we were staying.
amenities in the apartment included towels, soap, a coffee machine (with coffee!) and a kettle (with plenty of teabags!). there's a microwave and a fully kitted kitchen but food is so cheap and so close it would be unusual if you stayed in to eat. if you take milk in your drink you'll have to pick some up but there's a store over the road from the bnb.
Marcell and Elonie kindly gave us a lift from the airport to the BnB so travel was no trouble at all. They checked us in in five minutes, were chatty and polite, and gave us everything we needed with a final comment to stay in touch if we had any questions.
For the technologically focused, WiFi is fast and there's a chromecast fitted in the TV. There are plenty of plugs around but they are traditional European plugs - not an issue as most people have adaptors when travelling anyway.
Malaga itself is beautiful; a little too hot for me but food is plenty cheap. People here seem to be fond of deep frying a lot of things so if you want tapas that isn't lots of batter you may have to shop around. The Paella always smells gorgeous though, and I can say the views and eateries along the docks are excellent for snacking. We got mixed paella at Bourganvilla twice because it was so good - it's only about five minutes from the BnB and I think it's a must!
I can speak pretty good Spanish but most of the time people switched to English when they heard my weird accent so there isn't really a language barrier either.
Definitely going to stay again! many thanks to Marcell and Elmire (hope that's spelled correctly!)
