Overall, Eva's apartment was an excellent choice for a stay in Malaga. It is located in one of the main plazas, however Plaza de la Merced is a calmer option and is situated north of the busier area that is located closet towards the coast (the port and beach). She met us right in front of the building and showed us around the apartment and provided us with two copies of the keys. The entire apartment faces the internal courtyard, therefore it is very quite in a city that is noisy day and night. The AC is in the living room and works well. There a two fans in the apartment and we used both in the bedroom at night. The apartment was very clean and without clutter. The bed was comfortable and a true full size bed. While the apartment is on the "first floor", in Spain, this means it's one flight up from the ground floor. In summary, the apartment felt more like a hotel and the location couldn't have been better: short walk to beach, 24 hr taxi stand is right outside apartment, close to supermarket, cafes, restaurants, shops, cheap public parking, and tourist destinations such as the Arab Baths and Castillo de Gibralfaro.
