Location, location, location. Very well located in Malaga, few minutes walk from anything in the center. Now, inherent to an older building in the center, you can sometimes have noise (many nice cafes on the Plaza del Merced with music, etc.). Water tank for the hot water is a bit small but sufficient if nobody takes a very long shower. 4 stairs up: not an issue if you are in a normal decent shape. Good stay in Malaga, simple but clean and safe place!
