The apartment is in a perfect location. We loved to just walk out the door and turn right for shops and left for some good tapas and gin, or 15 minutes walk to the beach. Nice to be able to return at various times during the day and freshen up. Elena provides everything, we really liked the beach towels and parasol for our two beach days, but everything you need is here. Beds are comfortable, plenty of hot water, good shower and Wi-Fi. There is a little city noise as nearby restaurants close at night and as they open at 8a.m. next day, but nothing to really disturb you. If you are a very light sleeper I would take earplugs though. But I loved looking from the balcony and watching the city wake up, Malaga is simply lovely. Great communication before arrival and at check in…Elena is the perfect host. We shall return to stay again we liked it so much.
