The apartment was fantastic! It is well situated just north of the city centre. The Cathedral is only a 10min walk through the cosy and narrow streets of Malaga. The city beach is a bit further away with a walk of about 25 minutes, nicer beaches to the west and east of Malaga can be reached using buses that leave from Alameda Principal (10 min walk). The bed is great and the air conditioning is very nice during the Spanish summer. The pool is a refreshing break after a hot day in the city. Although check-in was after 1pm, we were allowed to drop our bags at 11am after arriving early in the morning.
Two downsides: the local representative does not speak English very well and there was a sewer smell coming from the bathroom.
