We loved the apartment and were pleased to be close to the centre of Malaga. We walked everywhere. Our disappointment s related to the noisy bin emptying every night at 2.00 am and the even noisy building work which started at 7.15 a.m. on the weekdays. It is frustrating to have sleep disrupted every night and early in the morning when on holiday. Other than that we made the most of every day

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. Ed & Sue Campbell River, BC Canada

Maria was a good Hostess ensuring we had everything we needed to make our 9 night stay comfortable. The apartment is as shown in the pictures. It was very clean and all the furniture was in great repair and comfortable. It is easy walking distance from both the train and bus stations as advertised, approx 30 minutes to the beaches. You can go to the train station and pick up a 10 fare bus pass for 8E30 and the number 3 bus, 2 blocks away, takes you right to the beach. So for us the location was not ideal. As for facilities, there was no tumble dryer as advertised, the wifi was shared and really really slow. In addition we found it noisy at night. The garbage bins just across the street (6 of them) are picked us at 2ish every morning.

Appartment was very clean and Maria even took us out for coffee on arrival

We stayed at the apartment for four days, and enjoyed our stay a lot. We were received by Maria upon arrival and she made us feel at home very quickly. Maria also arranged a nicely priced parking space in a nearby parking. The apartment is very nice, although the kitchen is quite small. The apartment is well furnished, and is within walking distance of many sites in Malaga. We took a taxi to get to the Castello de Gibralfaro, and walked back downhill to the city. It is very easy to explore the area around Malaga, provided one has a car at one's disposal.

We enjoyed the high ceilings, impeccable cleanliness, and spacious living space. We did find the tiny kitchen took some getting used to but it had everything we needed. Lovely to have Mas across the road for shopping.

That property was the biggest disappointment for our family! Planned to stay there for 9 days and we were ready to leave the next day after we came... Unfortunately, due to the peak season, we were not able to find another place right away and basically were forced (by circumstances) to stay there longer than we wanted... Of course, with all these moves and changes we lost a lot of money as well as the most precious and extremely valuable time of our vacation. Communication with the owner was stressful and not "customer friendly" at all...

Really enjoyed our stay at the Picasso Flat, Maria was wonderful in helping with anything we needed. The flat is just situated minutes away from the old city and close to the train station. It's just a few blocks away. There is a wonderful Fresh market very close, a grocery store just steps outside the building. A wonderful restaurant just below the apartment . I felt this apartment was located in a great spot. Will return.

First of all, the owner was very easy to work with and very helpful. Whenever we emailed her with a question or wanting advice, she always replied quickly with what we needed. Her mother is nice, too. The apartment’s location was excellent. Leaving the building, we were at the door of a supermarket in about 30 seconds. The train station was an easy ten minute walk. The drive to the airport was simple. The central business district and river were about 15 minutes by foot. The apartment is one floor up from the sidewalk, using stairs. One floor directly below the apartment (that is, at sidewalk level) is a very nice neighborhood restaurant. It is a quiet, safe neighborhood. Living there was pleasant. The apartment has two bedrooms, one bathroom, a small but well equipped kitchen, and a living room-dining room combination with a small library with some books in English. The kitchen has a clothes washer and a rack to dry the clothes on. The beds and the rest of the furniture were comfortable. The entire apartment was well furnished, welcoming, and felt like home. There is really no good place to park on the street so if you have a car, definitely rent their garage space. Although the garage is two blocks away, it’s an easy level walk. The parking stalls are large and the garage itself is a big commercial one with plenty of space for driving inside. We were impressed. The only problem we had was locating the apartment the first time. Although it is easy to spot it on a map, actually getting there in a car was difficult and time-consuming because all the one way streets seemed to go in the wrong direction, one after another, so although we would be quite near they would take us far away from the apartment, time after time. We’d be half a kilometer away, yet it took half an hour to actually arrive there. After we found a useful route, though, it was easy. The first time, either walk or take a taxi from the train station, or if you have a car, use a GPS that shows one way streets and all up-to-date construction information. We heartily recommend this apartment.

Lovely , bright and well equipped apartment in a great location with a grocery store just across the street. What more you can ask for -)

"Apartement tres agreable propre et clair. Bien situe pour visiter le centre ville a pied. La gare est a 200 m tres commode pour aller a Granada ou Cordoba. Supermarche a 50 m. Bon apartement a bon endroit".

"This apartment was beautiful. It was very well equipped. The location was very good....close to the beach, shopping, etc. We went to Gibraltar from here along the coastal highway, it was a beautiful drive. The only downside was that there is a restaurant in the next building that tended to be quite noisy at night".

"The flat is located across the road from a supermarket, a short walk from the bus and train stations, 5 minutes from the centre of the town and markets and only 15 minutes from the Malagueta beach. Ideal for a holiday without a car. The flat is recently modernised and well equipped. The neighbourhood is historic and full of restaurants and other shops."

"The apartment is in a great location within walking distance of all attractions. It is equiped with most thing you need, especially if you plan to eat out most meal. The street is fairly quiet for being so close to a main thoroughfare. The owner was responsive and very easy to work with."

"We very much enjoyed the Malaga flat as well as our Land lady. She was helpful and spoke enough English to share places to visit and good restaurants. This flat is very convenient to so much wonderful shopping, the beach and all the local sites. We would highly recommend it."

"El departamento es lindo, limpio, bien luminoso y decorado con muy buen gusto. Ha sido reformado recientemente. Hemos pasado un muy agradable periodo en este departamento. Esta muy bien localizado, cerca del centro historico y cerca de las nuevas tiendas. Tiene un supermercado enfrente y un mercado municipal a 200 metros. Tambien esta bien cerca de las estaciones de tren (Malaga Centro) y de omnibus, lo que nos facilito bastante visitas a Torremolinos, Fuengirola, Benalmadena, etc. "
