Great location just off the Plaza de la Merced; taxi from the airport was €21. Easy walking distance to all the sites, bars and restaurants, but in a relatively quiet side street. There are bars in the same street, and over a whole weekend during the football World Cup, we weren’t disturbed at all by any noise. The apartment was exactly as described, is well equipped, and was great value for money. Jose is a great host, immediately responsive in contacts, and provided a useful list of local attractions and eating recommendations. Jose was also very flexible over checkout when our return flight was delayed. Would definitely stay again if we return to Málaga - thanks Jose!
