What a cute, quiet, safe apartment in a great neighborhood! Because of a delayed flight, we arrived very late to Malaga. Mirna very kindly met us at the apartment, even though it was nearly midnight. We really appreciated her flexibility, especially since she had to work the next day.
The apartment is in a great location. You can easily walk to the main tourist area of Malaga center — in fact, the main road from the apartment goes straight past the Thyssen Museum and into the Plaza de la Constitución. It’s also an easy 15 min walk to the Maria Zambrano Train station. We liked being close to all the tourist attractions and then also being able to escape from the crowds and go back to Blanca’s more local traditional neighborhood.
If you’re looking to save a bit on food, and avoid the higher prices of the tourist restaurants, there are several local supermarkets within walking distance as well as classic bars for breakfast or tapas right in the neighborhood. There are also local clothing shops in the area and the big Corte Inglés department store as well as several shopping malls are within a 10 min walk.
We’ll definitely stay at Blanca’s when we come back to Malaga.
