We had a great time in the apartment. It is very convenient for both the beaches and easy to get into Malaga only 10 mins on the C3 or C1 Euro 1.30 (pay on the bus) The area is OK but really you have to walk a couple of blocks either way to be in the nicer parts. It's very clean and looks just like the photos however the patio balcony is not suitable for sunbathing as stated.
This is an apartment to stay close to the beach for a short time or if you are on one of the language courses you really can't find a better spot.
Rocio and Pepe are lovely and respond to questions instantly and will help you out with anything you need.
