We loved Miriam's place. It is in a quiet area, but not far from the old city center so you can easily walk there in 10-15 minutes across the canal. There are also a lot of shops and stores a couple of blocks away so it's easy to find markets, bakeries and anything else you need. The place itself is very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped, nice big fridge; great shower in the bathroom, comfy beds and closet space. Also the place is roomy so appreciated that also. I would highly recommend Miriam's place as a great base for seeing Malaga.
