Location was unbeatable, especially for an active couple as us, we managed to do many hikes, runs and day trips around the area and in the villages/areas nearby. Public transport was easy to use and close to the apartment. The view from the windows was lushy, great for people who like birds and nature. There was silence in the building during the nights, so sleeping was undisturbed (great if you have had an intensive work trip right before as I did). On days, you were able to hear neighbors a bit (so not suitable for podcast recordings - otherwise it was really great that neighbors respected eachothers privacy). Apartment was on 1st/2nd floor (depending on how you calculte it in your country), with no elevator.
When it comes to sleeping, the bed was comfy, everything from bed linen to towels (two big ones and two smaller ones) was clean (but fragranced, so if allergic, bring your own things if you are really sensitive (NOTE: Romina did organize a wash with unfragranced products, so the scent of the detergent was milder than it usually is, which was really great from her! :) ). All supplies were there from dish washing detergents (we left a non-fragranced one to the apartment for the next ones) to iron and hair dryer, toilet paper and a cupsolo coffee mashine, TV, fridge with a small freezer, kettle and a microwave (note: no oven) and a working AC (which we used to warm up the apartment during the evenings in November). During the days the sun shone in, so it warmed the apartment enough (tip: bring your own woolen socks or slippers for colder floors suring autumn/winter period). When it comes to shower, remember the small water reservoir (boiler) - do not expect to have long hot showers. Water pressure varied as well and the mixer did not mix the water properly, so the water was sometimes cold sometimes hot, but mostly ok! :) It was also nice to have reading lamps and an empty shelve next to bed for our things. One was also able to dry the laundry outside the windows.
Check-in was organized very well. Romina waited for us in front of the apartment and had her face mask on as did we (due to the COVID-19 restrictions). She gave us two sets of keys. For the check-out, we just had to leave the keys on the table and close the door. We did not have to do any cleaning but we folded the used bed linen to help out the cleaning person a bit, washed the dishes and made sure the trash bag was closed and ready to be thrown away before the cleaning service came in.
There were two grocery stores on the C. Victoria, the one on the right was a bit better equipped than the one on the left from C.Aqua. Everything was within a walking distance as well. Area felt safe and was well maintained. Pharmacies were also near, and so were many nice restaurants and cafes as well.
All in all, Malaga was a really nice city and Romina and this place made our stay even better. I would recommend this Malaga-experience to others as well with pleasure. Thank you R and V! :)
