We had a wonderful 4-night stay in Juan and Mars beautiful apartment. Our flight was delayed and we were greeted very late at night by a friendly and welcoming Juan, whose communication through our stay was excellent. At the apartment he gave us a brilliant list of all the restaurants, supermarkets etc they recommend. The apartment has everything you could need as well as some thoughtful touches such as local beer in the fridge. The beds are very comfortable (I used the Sofa bed in the living room and it is one of the best I have slept on in my travels). The apartment looks out on the mountain and the rooms are bathed in sunshine in the morning (I pulled open the full windows in the living area and sat in the sun most mornings).
The location of the apartment is wonderful and it is just a short stroll down to Plaza de la Merced and the old town (everything is within walking distance). The food in Malaga is typically great and there are lots of options for breakfast, lunch and dinner nearby. It is also an lovely stroll from the apartment down to the beaches. If you are looking for somewhere in Malaga or even as a base for exploring Andalusia (given there is parking available with the apartment located very close by) I really recommend staying with Juan and Mar.
The engagement with Juan and Mar was exceptionally good. They are warm, caring, thoughtful and always available but only when you need them. Wonderful people… I hope our paths cross again. Thank you.
