- Nice little appartment off one of the main streets in Malaga.
- Communication with host was good, they meet you in the appartment.
- Things to be aware of:
1) The appartment is quite cold. There is an AC unit in the main living room but couldn’t get it to work on the heat setting. There is no heaters in the bedroom so can be very cold at night. A small oil radiator is provided in the wardrobe but is too small to sufficiently heat the bedroom. So something to be aware of if you come in the cooler months.
2) Given it’s in a central location off one of the main streets in Malaga. I was expecting a bit of noise at night from people walking etc…. However, I didn’t expect the garbage trucks and road cleaning machines to keep me up all night. Again given it’s a central location, the roads are cleaned every night so expect there to be noise from garbage trucks and other machinery used to clean the roads.
3) There is construction going on in several buildings near the appartment. So expect some construction noise as well if you come now i.e. I booked from 9th Feb 2022 to 13th Feb 2022. And this works might go on for a while from what I could see.
I left the appartment after 1 night and checked into a nearby hotel as I couldn’t handle the cold and all the noise.
I WhatsApp the host to let them know I’m leaving. And did ask if they could refund me the nights I didn’t stay. Communication was slow on this, eventually they got back to me after messaging them a couple of times and declined any refunds.
Overall my first experience using Airbnb. Not a great one.
