Private garden & balcony. 3 min to beach,15 to center

Spacious living & dining room. Efficient heating here & in bedrooms very welcome as the weather cold at night. We are pensioners & felt the cold very much in the bathroom. Perhaps a heated towel rail a good idea? Excellent shower & bags of hot water. Also excellent wi-fi. Area very quiet with good facilities nearby. Especially enjoyed walking by the sea, the fish restaurant just a few minutes away & the regular buses into the centre.

We spent 4 weeks in the upstairs apt of this property and it was perfectly suited for 2-3 people. The location is excellent, just a short, flat stroll to the beach bars and restaurants of pedregalejo. It is a 35 min seafront walk to Malaga town, but the bus ride is very short and cheap from virtually outside. The property was clean and very well maintained with modern furniture and fittings. The only negative for us is that the kitchen was a little small and lacked an oven, which for a shorter stay would probably not have mattered for us. The balcony received great sun in the afternoon although we didn’t use the garden at all. The area is more residential than most holiday rentals that we have found before in Malaga town and it was really nice to live more like a local. Most of the visitors to the beach areas were spanish. Lastly Martin was an excellent host, unobtrusive but close at hand if needed. When we had an issue with the hot water system he responded immediately. All in all a great apt in super location which we found good value for money. Would certainly return.

Great apartment: lots of light and space. Really well furnished. Great location - 5mins to Supermarket, 10 mins to beach. Good local shops and cafe.

Martin is a superb, professional host. Takes great care of his property and his guests.

Highly recommended!

Calle Juan Valera is in Pedregalejo, a forty minute walk along the coast to the east of the city. There is an excellent bus service for those who don't fancy the walk.

The road is two streets back from the coast with a supermarket and bakery nearby.

The coastal strip has a line of fish restaurants and bars and is very busy at the weekends. The local favourite, esparto de sardinas is excellent and very reasonably priced.

Although the beach itself isn't great, the swimming is excellent and the breakwaters help to give an element of privacy, rather than one unbroken stretch of beach.

The apartment has two bedrooms, bathroom, small kitchen and lovely bright airy living and dining space.

There is a private garden to the front and a balcony at the back. Sunshine all day, if you want it.

Landlord, Martin, is a treasure. Any small problems, requests or questions are dealt with promptly.

Overall, well worth a visit.

Apartment is wonderful for restful stay. Maintained to a high standard with front and rear terrace to catch sun morning and evening. Quiet at night but just a minute from beach. Some good restaurants near by and only a short distance from Malaga central. Bike rental is closer than beach so you can explore the coast also. Host was very welcoming and took the time to inform about all local facilities and best places to eat, drink and watch sunset. Also had thoughtfully supplied all the little things like salt, sugar, coffee, shower gel and shampoo. These touches make short stays easier. Instant hot water and good wifi. Can't recommend this highly enough.
