Paola’s apartment really is a find. It has a great location, just to the edge of the center of the old town, within walking distance of pretty much everything but in a quiet secluded street so no disturbance from street noise.
The apartment itself is bright, airy, spotless, very well stocked and impeccably decorated - the photos don’t do it justice. The kitchen and living areas are lovely, both bedrooms have en suites, both beds were really comfortable (and I fell in love with the beautiful decor in the grey bedroom!) and the air con effective as it was pretty warm in Malaga when we stayed. There were 2 of us but it would be equally comfortable and spacious for 4.
Paola was a fantastic host. She was so welcoming and gracious when our flight was delayed and even got in some basic supplies for us as shops and restaurants were closed by the time we arrived. She gave us some good local info and tips (and there’s lots of good local info in the apartment) and was very responsive when we contacted her during our stay and very helpful with tips about getting to the airport during Semana Santa. Check out was flexible and very smooth.
I would stay in Paola’s place again without hesitation - it’s the perfect base for a stay in Malaga (which was also a revelation - what a beautiful city and so many great day trip possibilities - I’ll definitely be back). Finally our stay coincided with part of Semana Santa in Malaga and while its hectic, it really is very atmospheric and special and I would highly recommend it if you get the chance.
