This apartment has marble floors is beautifully finished and furnished, we felt like we were walking into a 5 star hotel on our first day. Host welcomed us, left us a nice welcome pack including wine and was very courteous and professional. Wi-fi is perfect as is the heating (it’s the end of November) and cleanliness.
Location is in a non touristy part so you really get to live like a local and the walk to town is not too bad if you enjoy walking as we do. Busses and taxis are plentiful and very reasonable; Malaga is a fabulous city and to be here low season and have great weather is all that we imagined.
To appeal to the British tourist, the flat could be improved by adding some more cutlery, spatulas, ladels pots and pans, a UK style toaster, a tea kettle etc but we got by as there were only the two of us.
If you are using it just as a base it is great but if you are looking to spend time at home, have lazy mornings or book reading weekends I would look for something else!
The neighbours upstairs have marble floors too and every sound transmits below (bear that in mind when renting this flat as downstairs will suffer if you make no effort) - from high heel walk about at 5.08 am to the little one getting up EARLY and dragging the chairs around (or whatever it was), it is not a peaceful place to be on occasion. Not sure why people haven’t mentioned this before and I do feel bad about writing a poor review but we need to be honest. If I had have read about the noise from upstairs I would not have booked it as I have sold property in the past for this very reason! It is probably just city life and to a degree I can accept the passing fire engines or the motor bikes but noisy neighbours - difficult!
Sorry to our hosts, I hope you can meet with the neighbours to resolve the issue: putting felt pads on moveable furniture (including yours) such as chairs, not wearing healed shoes in the house would make all the difference. There was no noise from television, music or anything else.
We are looking forward to our next place near Marbella which is thankfully on the top floor.
