Our stay at Yolanda’s apartment in Málaga was fine, but, to be honest, we wouldn’t stay here again. In general, the place looks amazing in photos but in reality some things are falling apart or not working at all. The lightbulb over the bed for example doesn’t work, some of the light fixtures are falling off the wall, a piece of the shower was breaking, and, worst of all, the bed was not great to sleep in (the biggest flaw). It worked fine for a couple days, but I definitely wouldn’t stay here long term as the kitchen is not equipped for cooking (no cutting board, missing lots of tools) and the fridge is only a mini fridge.
Pros:
- great water pressure in the shower
- perfect location just steps from the beach and 12 min walk from the old town
- Yolanda was a great communicator and seemed friendly
- self check-in was smooth and easy with instructions
- more spacious than a hotel room
- USB chargers by the bed
- lots of closet space
- has a washer and iron
Cons:
- WiFi didn’t work very well, even after we reset it
- not super clean - dusty, dirty floors and some ants in the bathroom. also the iron was really dirty and got dirt on our clothes when we tried to use it
- TV remote had no batteries so we couldn’t watch TV
- no beach towels to use
- thin walls so you could always hear the neighbors
- cheap, uncomfortable couch
- and the worst: an extremely uncomfortable bed that wasn’t great to sleep on and was super loud and squeaky every time we moved in the bed
There are lots of cheap apartments in Malága, but we decided to upgrade to what looked like it would be a little more luxurious. But next time we will just go for somewhere cheaper and lower our expectations.
