We stayed in this apartment for just over two weeks.
I wrote a lot; please read everything before judging the place. 🙂
Pros:
- Fairly clean apartment
- 5 mins walk to the centre
- Lots of sockets with USB for charging
- Lots of light
- Large TV and comfortable sitting space.
- Kebab/shawarma places within 1 minute’s walk if you are hungry after midnight. We recommend Madre De Dios!
- Small shop within 2 minutes walk that’s open until about 11 pm.
- Everything was in working conditions.
- Dishwasher and washing machine, a plus
- It comes with parking space which is essential if you rent a car. Otherwise, parking in the city centre can be a problem.
- A few coffee pods, biscuits, tea and sugar to get you started were definitely welcomed.
Cons:
- The apartment gets dirty and difficult to clean as there’s no broom/vacuum, or mop. So it was challenging to keep clean all the time as we stayed long enough.
- Door/window in the bedroom is not very well insulated, so noise gets in, especially when cars, mopeds and people are passing by.
- Door to the balcony was broken, so it was not usable. Sound insulation is also a problem here.
- Door to the building entrance is a bit heavy, and most people let it go when closing, so it makes banging noises.
- Parking is not on the premises.
- Few broken bits.
- No clothes drying rack. The dryer from the washing machine leaves the clothes (a small amount) wet after over two h of drying.
- Only 1 set of towels for two weeks and no extra bedsheets.
- No washing up liquid for the washing machine
Getting in and out is easy if you use a smartphone. The app is easy to download and use. Just don’t forget your phone inside! We slept well despite the noise, as we always wore our earplugs. It’s something for you to consider as it helps. Write to them about any issue you have, and they’ll respond quickly to fix it or for suggestions. The parking space is quite large. You should be able to fit a 12 places van in there. Just plan well if you go to do extensive grocery shopping as the parking is about a 3mins walk from the apartment.
The cons I mentioned didn’t stop us from having a good time in Malaga, even if I had to stay in for more than half the vacation as I had work to do.
