The stay at Juan Luis’ place was wonderful! The location extremely convenient, you walk out the door and are in the centre within 1 min. We did not have to use public transport once! Still it was not too noisy because it is not directly on the street. The place has a kitchen with everything you need but we mainly ate out so it was not necessary. For February it was a little bit cold but there was a small heater you can use to warm up your feet.
Host Maria deserves the biggest compliments for her responsiveness, great instructions to get to the apartment and flexibility with check-out. I would definitely book this place again if I go back to Malaga.
Local recommendations where you must go:
If you book this place the cookie store on the corner of the street is amazing!!
La Gloria restaurant (great atmosphere and food, especially the meatballs!)
Picasso museum Malaga
Of course Casa Lola and the Mercado Central for the best affordable tapas!
