Not located in the best area of Malaga; we found the streets very dirty and sometimes it stank quite badly of effluent/sewage. That being said, the apartment itself is very neat, clean, and has all the necessary amenities which suited our purposes and was comfortable. We stayed for 10 days and expected to be offered at least one cleaning day in the middle, which was never mentioned.
It is a short walk to the beachfront and all necesary amenities are right there. Bus access is close and easy.
Communication with Mercedes is efficient and clear (via the AirBnB website).
If you need to be in that part of Malaga, this apartment is probably one of the best on offer.
