Summary of D-5. Apartment. Private terrace Malaga city. WIFI. 2 Bedrooms, Sleeps 4

We spent 2 weeks at D-5 and we never felt we lacked anything. It is a charming little apartment, spotlessly clean, with a small, well equipped kitchenette and eating area, a sofa and a TV set in the living room, and 2 bedrooms with plenty of closet space. Everything is in a very good state of repair. There is a small terrace, equipped with a table and chairs and surrounded by beautiful hibiscus plants and jasmin. Air conditioning is available for an extra fee. The wi-fi worked fine. We had a problem with the fridge the first day and our landlord Juan replaced it promptly. He and his wife are very kind and accommodating. If you wish to hire a car, they can help you with that, too.

The apartment itself is excellent, but you have to know that the house is perched on top of a steep hill, 15-20 minute walk up from the sea and the major bus lines. There is a bus No33 that goes up and a stop right next to the house if you are patient (or lazy) enough to wait for it - it is not very frequent. Halfway up the hill there is an area of restaurants and shops, quite convenient. The city centre is about 4 km away but when you descend from the hill there is a bus line No11 that takes you downtown or, if you take it in the other direction, to the beach area of El Palo where there are nice fish restaurants as well. The bus No11 runs regularly, every 6 minutes on weekdays. To sum it up, you need to have a car or use the public transport to get anywhere - but if you do have a car, it is not difficult to find a place to park it, which is a huge issue in a more central location.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay enormously and we never regretted choosing this apartment.
