Maria was great - she met us at our car and led us, on her motorbike, to the parking garage, then met us at the flat. We were just two people so we used only half the large apartment. The flat is right in the center of the casco antiguo with a nice view of part of the alcazaba. 10 minute walk to Malagueta beach for a quick swim in the morning or walking along the port at night. In spite of being right in the center, at least in June 2016, there was only one restaurant below the flat open late at night (plenty within 5 minutes walk though), so we were able to sit on the small deck enjoying the view before going to bed, without much noise. Because of the quiet location, sleeping at night was fine, BUT be sure to close the shutters and windows because the gulls are very noisy early, about 4:30 or 5:00, in the morning! Would absolutely recommend Maria's place to friends.
