I don't know where to begin to describe how excellent our stay was at Francisco's place!
First, the home itself is out of a movie. It is about a 20 minute drive from the Malaga train station - up a beautiful mountain. The house is 3 km above sea level at the top of this mountain and you are greeted by the most stunning views when you enter the property. You can see for miles along the coast and out to sea! You can also see the Malaga city center, which is only a short drive away. I would definitely recommend having a car, but I imagine you could definitely take a taxi.
We did not get a chance to meet Francisco himself, but he was always reachable and provided us with an incredibly detailed list of suggestions for food and sites - many of which we luckily took him up on!
In Francisco's place, we were met by his father - also named Francisco - who was such a kind a gracious host. He kindly walked us around the property and showed us the apartment. He gave us a history of the property and was also reachable when we needed him.
The apartment itself comes with a welcome drink and a fridge full of essentials for breakfast. There's also a market a short 7 minute drive away. The unit is fully stocked with everything, including one of the most incredible views one could ever wake up to!
Malaga is a fantastic city with great sites, amazing food and lovely people. We couldn't have asked to stay at a better place during our trip there. Thanks Francisco!
