We had a really good stay during our 7 nights. We arrived around 2.30pm and Marta arranged so the cleaner could let us in early.
You can take a bus when you arrive, to Alameda Principal and then a taxi to the AirnB (will cost €1.50-3.00 depending on what bus there is and taxi €7.00)
Bus nr 3 or 11 from Alameda Principal will take 10 minutes to the flat. You walk in 25 minutes. Our taxi 05.00am to the Airport costed us €30.00 and that might have been a little bit too much? I am not sure.

The area is gorgeous with a little corner shop with basics like yoghurt, fruit, fresh bread at 10.00am, great wine and other basic bits. The owner is lovely. There is also an organic restaurant/shop/cafe down the road and an amazing beach restaurant - Picasso - that serves grilled fish out of this world! When we went it was packed with Spanish people;) Our meal only came to £28.00 for two and we had loads of amazing seafood, wine and dessert.
They are closed Mondays as the fisherman have a day off on Sundays. Always good to know. Don't eat fish on a Monday!

You walk down to the beach in less than 5 minutes. The sea was clear and fresh most days (it was only a lot of rubbish when the sea was high and that only happened one day) and I could see some jelly fish as well (but only that day)
We went down there first thing in the morning at 08.30 and it was absolutely lovely to start the day with a swim almost on our own in the sea. As it was so hot during our stay, we only spent a couple of hours in the morning and then went into town during daytime to visit the Picasso Museum, The Centre Pompidou and other museum and galleries.
Then we went down to the beach again at 5.30 for an hour.
Malaga City was such a surprise to us! What an amazing city, with a beach! You get 2 holidays in one;)
We really liked the fact that it felt genuine Spanish in town. Of course there are tourist areas (but we saw mainly Spanish tourists) enjoying a glass of cava in a nice looking bar or eating tapas in an authentic setting.
If I were to sum up Malaga City I would say sophisticated, stylish, moorish, genuine, friendly and relaxed.

We will be back and we will also stay in Martas lovely flat!! The air-condition was quiet and really efficient! After a day in 35 degrees heat it was amazing to step inside.
Oh...one last thing, if you are a light sleeper, you might want earplugs. I had (but my husband didn't) and it wasn't the traffic that kept me awake, but the fridge. However, with my earplugs, I slept really well!

Don't hesitate. I recon this is the best place to stay in Malaga. xx
