We had a wonderful stay in Malaga at Maria’s Picasso flat for six weeks from February 27th until April 12th 2019.
Maria is a great, concerned and attentive host who is always willing to help her tenants. We were met at the Malaga airport by a taxi driver, which was all arranged by Maria, who then took us to the flat and later that day we had a visit from Maria’s associate MarieCarmen who explained the appliances, the internet access, the location of the local stores and markets and the area in general. The apartment is very nice and well-furnished although the kitchen is quite small and took some getting used to but we used it to cook most of our meals. The apartment is on the first floor using stairs to access and over a very busy restaurant. The neighbourhood garbage bins, just across the street, are emptied at 2’ish every morning which we found rather noisy. In fairness however, we must add that we live in a small community on Vancouver Island and as such, we are not accustomed to the city noise.
The flat could not be in a better location! It is a quiet, safe neighbourhood within walking distance of the many sites in Malaga and our stay there was very pleasant. The local metro, which also goes to the airport for 1:85 euro, is only a three or four minute walk and the local buses are accessed even closer. The bars and cafes are all around the area are really good and travelers are well received by all. The Café Bar Cuarteles, two minutes away, is particularly friendly and serve great tapas and fish of all types.
All in all, a great stay.
