First off, the positive: the apartment is just a 2 minute walk from the old town of Malaga and the rooftop terrace is huge. The area is quiet even on weekend nights. The kitchen and bathroom are nicely redone and stuff in the apartment generally works. Communication with Knut was quick and efficient.
There are, however a couple of things which keep me from giving a 100% thumbs up: first off, there's no heating or cooling installed. While we found two heaters in the apartment, it wasn't exactly toasty. Putting on the two heaters at the same time tripped apartment main fuse. The windows and shutters could really use some work. There is a smell when you enter the building, probably coming from interior yard. No smell in the apartment proper, though. Parking can be a problem, as always in central Malaga.
That said, I think the apt. is decent value for money. It's just a bit of a pity, because this could be a real gem with a bit of investment.
