Location is great, main issue is the lack of air conditioning in this apartment, unit power outages and a shower drainage problem...
I would not stay here again, nor would I stay with La Reception due up their lack of empathy, follow through and carelessness. They did respond to complaints, however it wasn’t timely and the issues were not addressed. They have to be aware of the issues in this unit...
There were some cleanliness issues, stray hairs here and there on the linens... the floor drain in the shower was either clogged of pitched the wrong way do unless you made a damn out of the floor rug water would go all over the apartment. We had to take showers quickly and turn off the water while we lathered up and then quickly rinsed.
The hotter days were of course worse, unless you sat around without clothes on you would be sweating profusely.
When contacted the La Recepción representative didn’t really want to hear about the complaint (the power going out and lack of air conditioning) rather said that I “needed to work with them” and that Malaga just had power outages.... we visited other areas of the city for 3 days, never once had the power go out or were inside anywhere where the air conditioning had problems.... clearly something wrong with the equipment/mechanical/wiring in this building.
Also- the la reception representative mentioned that the building we are in had power outages. So the first day the power went out- we had spoken to la reception, power was still out so we waited and waited... finally a tenant in the neighboring unit reset the power and it came on... we had been sitting there for hours without power for no reason... once we knew how to reset it we knew what to do, something la reception should have show us since it kept going out over and over.... by the way the building also lost power one time, the remaining power issues were all in the unit- the only power we used was a bathroom light and the air conditioning....
A technician eventually came out- a day later. He reported back to la reception that everything was “working fine”.... he came by on a day that was the coolest out of our stay and it was more bearable that day. The other days it was miserable inside the apartment... even with opening the windows and turning off the AC. The power one day had to be turned on at least 7 times- someone was in the other unit from la reception and was talking to me when this was happening.
It looks also like some weird configuration of a single apartment to multiple probably has something to do with this... didn’t look like it was meant to be setup this way... But I am sure they are probably aware of that.
Our trip to Spain was great, this certainly stands out as a part of the trip I wasn’t happy about. The real kicker was when I received a review request from La Reception bribing me to write a 5 star review and they would be on me as well... doesn’t seem like a good business practice and it something I would want to pass on to another traveler.
