The house is incredibly clean, and the area is pretty calm and quiet. You can easily walk to the historic downtown in about 15 minutes, and the walk is made worth it by the incredibly cheap fruit/vegetable markets along the main street on the way there. By the end of our stay the vendors would wave to us on the street and say hello, even if we weren't coming in to buy food. Everyone is so hospitable and kind, and we loved our stay in Malaga!
