Our stay in Malaga was really great. Everything was fine. The appartment was very clean and we had everything we needed. We also could check-in earlier than planned and the communication was perfect. Although I didn't met Paolo he always answered my mails very quickly. It's true the appartment is very central so there is of course noise outside. But it depends on your own sensitivity whether you like it or not and if you want to have the normal city life around you. If you have a light sleep bring earplugs and everything will be okay. Really enjoyed the time!
