The cleanliness of the apartment and the location was just perfect. Air conditioning worked well.
There is a sewage smell in the bathroom but it happens when you stay in Spain in old town.
However the whole stay and the attitude of the host was unpleasant.
1. Just one day before arrival they insisted pf paying the deposit, although it was not indicated during a booking process. I denied to pay, they were unsatisfied.
2. During the check in I asked for some information on trips around Malaga. They promised but never responded.
3. During the stay they asked if there’s something missing in the apartment that they could help with. I wrote some request, they never responded.
4. The most unpleasant situation happened at the very end of my stay.
As we were leaving very early in the morning I asked where to leave keys. The answer was “in the apartment”. I left the key inside the lock and apparently they couldn’t get in. The door was self shutting so I didn’t know it would cause problems. So the host requested to pay 85€ for door opening without even providing a bill.
I refused to pay because they should indicate precisely where to leave the keys and where not to leave. They might even leave some box for keys and put a plate next to the lock warning not to leave keys in the lock.
I connected AirBnB support to help to solve this situation and they confirmed I was right and do not need to pay. The host needs to provide specific instructions for their guests. As it might happen to other guests too. Even during the stay you might shut the door unintentionally while leaving the key in the lock and the you couldn’t get into apartment.
So all in all apartment is great but the situation turned out very dissatisfied.
