I had a great stay at Fred's place. The apartment is really well located for lazy summer days, about a minute's walk from the beach in El Palo and a short bus ride to Malaga proper. The room was good value for money, with a desk, wardrobe and a nice little balcony for taking in the sun. Fred was also easy to talk to and responded to my emails promptly. The other guests at Fred's apartment were really warm and easy going and I really appreciated the laid back atmosphere there, it felt a bit like a home away from home. My only criticism is that the kitchen and bathroom, though passable clean, were not always as tidy as I would have liked.
