Everyone has a different reason for using Airbnb. Our reason is that it is usually the best way to experience how the locals live. This particular flat is in a very 'real' neighborhood. No one spoke a word of English! We had a great time visiting a restaurant down the street and having to guess what we had just ordered for dinner. Antonio and Imma, on the other hand, do speak English. They are very nice people and very attentive. After helping us get settled, they promptly got out of our way -- the perfect hosts! Their flat is well-appointed and very clean. Some reviewers have complained about small details like the front bedroom being too loud (it's right off the street), or the fact that the pipes are ancient and you can't flush toilet tissue. To us it was all part of the charm. It really felt like someone had kindly offered us the use of their Málaga flat while they were away. Which, of course, is exactly what we were searching for! The location is great, about 15-20min walk from the city center -- close enough to rarely require a taxi, but far enough away to not feel 'touristy'. I give the highest compliments to Antonio and Imma's rooftop solarium. Although shared with a second flat, we never saw the other guests. We ate breakfast there every single day, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Overall, I thoroughly recommend this flat for an authentic experience of Málaga
