We had booked the apartment months in advance and everything seemed ok. Two days before our arrival Brian contacted me via Airbnb-chat and wanted to call me later that day. He finally called me the night before our arrival and told me that the apartment we had booked was not available (allegedly due to construction work in the building that had damaged the water pipe...) He told me not to worry because he has a better and nicer place instead for us and we will love it there. Unfortunately I was naive enough to believe him.
Upon arrival at the "better" apartment we were greeted by the sight of a huge scaffold. In the entry area there was construction material, wiring etc... laying all around. Upon entry into the apartment we found that the scaffold was surrounding the balcony and blocking all natural light - the only source of natural light for most of the apartment to be exact. Not exactly giving you the "vacation vibe". So the better apartment was basically also a construction site with no natural light.
On top of that there was no way to lock the balcony door or any other door (except the front door) in the apartment, leaving at least the possibility of someone entering through the balcony into the apartment (through the scaffold) - not exactly enhancing security considerations.
What was more irritating than the facts per se, was that Brian did not mention these circumstances at all in advance on the phone, not even a single word was uttered - we were quite surprised to find out about all of this right at arrival. We thought the whole procedure and especially Brian was dishonest and intransparent to say the least. There was no way for us to reevaluate and replan our visit. Brian did offer us to cancel and refund the money as we made it clear that we were displeased with the apartment and the whole procedure. However, we figured that it would be even worse to try to find hotel rooms for four people on a Friday night in Malaga. So due to lack of options we decided to stay (that was probably what Brian had planed and hoped for).

A further minus for WIFI availability - the WIFI connection works well in the living room, but poorly in other rooms. One of the bathroom doors needs to be adjusted as upon opening or closing it, it is so loud that it wakes up almost anyone that is asleep.
I can definitely not recommend to stay at Brian´s apartments due to the experience we had with him... he is just a dishonest guy!
