I never got to meet Fred as he was away, but he was very good at arranging my stay and making sure everything went smoothly via email. And one of his friends and business partners was at the apartment when I arrived, so no problems in this regard. The apartment is nice, airy and well placed; just 100 metres from El Palo beachfront. There are supermarkets nearby and everything else you'll need for a stay. If I came back to Malaga, I'd definitely see if Fred's apartment was available again. Thanks Fred.
