Stayed at Javier’s place with my 2 year old daughter. It’s clean, stylish and is as described. On the outskirts of the centre, but on a great bus route (easily walkable, too) Beach is on your doorstep.
Only downside is the traffic noise from the road. So if you’re a light sleeper, I’d advise some earplugs.
Would recommend to anyone visiting Malaga.
