This apartment is extremely convenient to the historic center of Malaga -- a walk of just a few minutes. Javi was very communicative by text, and offered useful suggestions of where to shop or places to visit. We found the apartment to be pretty quiet. One thing travelers may want to be aware of is that there is a washing machine but no clothes dryer; instead, you hang washing on a line on the terrace or out the bedroom window. Since there is so much sun, it wasn't a problem.
