Maria and Ines, representatives of the owner, were very professional, courteous, and prompt. They did their best to address issues as they arose. The modern apartment is sparsely furnished. Some worn items require replacement, and items that would make a stay more comfortable were absent: towels/umbrella for the beach just a couple of blocks away; lounge chairs for the spacious terrace; something to hang a hat/purse/coat on at the entrance; a grater and other simple tools for the kitchen. The apartment does not appear to have been thought through from a user perspective. Other long-term furnished rentals we have had in Malaga and elsewhere (~20 so far on 3 continents) at a similar and even a lower price have done so. This aspect of the rental was very disappointing. Maintenance to the hot water service and air conditioning system, ant removal were also required during our stay. The recurring issue with intermittent hot water service was not fully resolved by the time we left.
