This apartment is a mixed bag. The apartment itself is quite nice, clean and well furnished. The parking situation in the large cities is always a problem so we always look for listings that provide parking when booking in the cities. We were very disappointed to find that the "Parking on Premises" was over a third of a mile away. If you forget an item in your car, it's a 40 minute round trip walk. When checking in I voiced my concern with the host who kept insisting that it wasn't far at all. "Right over there." We booked for the parking and the "near beach" claims. I asked the host which way the beach was and he pointed to the direction of the beach and said "it's right over there." Right over there ended up being almost a mile away. The apartment feels secure with the common entrance locked but the neighborhood is definitely a "working class" area. We felt safe on the long walks to the parking and the beach but I'm not sure how secure it would feel at night. We also had an issue with the neigbors being quite loud late into the evening. If we were looking for accommodations in Malaga again we would look elsewhere.
