The apartment being on the ground floor and directly opposite another apartment building doesn't get any direct sunlight, but that's not too much of an issue if you're out and about all day in wonderful Malaga. It would have been nice to have some outdoor space but to my surprise there don't seem to be many apartments in Malaga that offer this.
The front bedroom can be quite noisy as there was a rather loud family directly opposite whose voices I could hear through the double glazed windows as well as occasional music, as they had their juliet balcony door open all day from early morning! I moved to the second (back bedroom) a couple of mornings to escape the noise where it was much quieter.
On the positives, the beds were extremely comfortable with high quality linen and decent firm but soft-topped mattresses in both bedrooms. The air con worked well and was quiet, the bathroom was lovely and modern and had a very powerful and always hot shower.
It is around a 7 - 8 minute pleasant walk to the other side of the river where the old town begins and there are plenty of tapas bars around. To the centre is a little further, of course. Malaga Centro station was around 14 minutes walk.
The host Miriam was lovely. She had left juice and butter in the fridge as well as some packets of waffles for snacks. Communication was also very quick. There are perhaps even slightly better located places available for a similar price, however we really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend.
