Andres & Patricia are perfect hosts. Quick to respond to messages, and extremely helpful, even when our flight got delayed. If you want to actually live in Malaga, Spain then this is the place. A flat with 3 bedrooms a full living room, a master bedroom (with full bathroom) and a main bathroom. Not to mention a fully stocked kitchen with full dining table. And a small balcony! The actual place is fabulous, and you won't have any regrets. For the women: there is a good quality hair dryer, a full length mirror in the master bedroom, and good lighting in the bathrooms and bedrooms for doing make up. For the men: the iron works without a hitch, the fridge/freezer is good if you want to store a beer/wine, and there is a large LCD tv in the living room if you want to flick it on. There are plenty of wooden hangers so you can hang your clothes nicely for use. The kitchen and one bedroom window look onto a school area (so be mindful of that) that said (almost no noise somehow! Pleasant kids.) The opposite side is a main street with bus stop right across. You don't hear the buses and it is quiet. As for what's around. Café Tornado is nearby and open early/stays open late. A Dia supermarket and fresh bakery, meat shop and fruiteria and pharmacy are within 3-5 min walking down the street (all open 9am). Gibralfaro and Malagueta beach are close by (10 min, ~20 min walks). The shopping areas is about a 20ish minute walk. The Atranzas Market is about 25 min walk. Estacion Maria Zambrano is a good 30+ min walk (7 euro taxi but worth it) if you're taking a day trip to Seville.
You will not be disappointed staying here.
