Our first impression was okay. It is a nice apartment, well renovated with also a nice terrace. However the rest of the building wasn't very clean and attractive. There were some cockroaches in the hallway downstairs and there was also a strong odeur in the building that you could also smell on the terrace. The view from the terrace wasn't like we expected. The pictures do not show the empty river which is the main thing you see when you look down from the balcony.

We spend 5 nights in the apartment, which made us realize that there are some features missing to have a comfortable stay. For example, the bathroom was small and the toilet was seperated from the shower. There was a sink in the toilet but there was no possibility to dry your hands because there was no possibility to leave a towel anywhere in the toilet. In the bathroom there was no space to put your toiletries.

The location of the apartment is good, close to the city center, but it is a 30 min walk to the beach which is not convenient when you want to have a quick swim on hot days. Advised to rent bikes.

We still don't fully understand why we have to pay for cleaning, while you are expected to clean yourself. Doing the dishes is normal, but mopping the floor etc. we expect this to be covered by the cleaning that you pay for. Also we were not satisfied with the cleanliness of the apartment when we arrived, the floor inside was not clean (dust and sand still there, but only visible on your socks because the floor is dark).

Erik, the host, although we never met him, was very nice and helpful.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay in Malaga despite the remarks we listed above.
