Our hosts contacted us a few days before our arrival with information about addresses and check in time. We arrived in Malaga several hours early. We contacted Daniel to see if it would be possible to either check in early or leave our bags in the room This wasn't possible so we went to the nearby Glass museum and as we were finishing we got a call from the house keeper that the rooms were available a couple of hours early which made us feel better as we didn't want to leave our luggage in the car. The apartment is large and modern; located very close to all the interesting sights, castle and port. The apartment is located on a narrow street but there is a large and safe parking garage just around the corner to the left of the end of the street so parking is literally 'around the corner'. There are some small local shops for necessities; fruit and vegetables, deli, bread, wine and beer.The neighbourhood seems very safe for tourist, and appears to be a family oriented neighbourhood. The Malaga International Film Festival was on down the street and Antonio Banderas was in town, so big crowds in the neighbourhood
