I was on a train from Madrid to Málaga when I booked my room and with less than an hour until I arrived I was concerned about how soon I would hear back from the host. Then I received an automated email with self check-in instructions--this was absolutely perfect for me! The instructions were so clear I was able to get into my room with no issues at all. If you're taking the train this location is so close, maybe 2 blocks.

In the morning there was some construction going on in the apartment but I was already up and running the men were nice and friendly and explained what they were doing. I ran into Francisco (the host) who offered to put me in another of his Airbnb sites just a few feet away so the noise wouldn't be intrusive but I was already settled plus I planned to leave early each day and be home late however I did get sick and extended my trip as I didn't feel like traveling like that. I emailed Francisco who was incredibly accommodating and said I could stay as long as I wanted.
I never met or saw anyone else staying there so the construction crew (2 gentlemen) were the only contacts there besides Francisco they were quite funny and friendly.

The only drawback is it's a little bit of a walk to the downtown but other than that this place was quite comfortable and very clean. i would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an independent room at an affordable price.
