First, the description of this property is very accurate, you get exactly what is shown on the property's page.
The location is on the opposite side of the road from the port, so it stays cooler than points inland, and there's a nice breeze in the afternoon as well. There's a small cafe on the ground floor that seems to be always open, so if you need a quick coffee or a snack, you don't have to go far.
Also, when we stayed here (July 2017) the place looked brand-new: fresh paint on the walls, and completely new furniture. When we got there it was spotlessly clean. There's also a brand-new washer and dryer, both of which worked very well, and which we put to good use. There's a dishwasher (!) but we didn't use it, since we didn't really cook. Alberto also made a gift of a bottle of tinto, which was much appreciated!
Oh, and if you're looking for the cocktail shaker, I left it in the lower left cabinet, bottom shelf. Cheers!
The size of the apartment is good. We had six people most of the time, and we never felt crowded. If you had a couple of additional children or teenagers, there's a convertible couch in the front room.
The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and flatware, and had a coffee maker, and a Nesspresso type machine as well, a hot pot, and new pots and pans. We didn't cook, but you have everything you need here if you want to.
We were met at the door by Alberto, the manager just as our taxi dropped us off. We had previously told him what train we were on, and he timed it perfectly. So check in was very simple and comfortable for our jet-lagged crew (we had flown in from Los Angeles and traveled from Madrid).
The location is good, just a few minutes walk to the historic center and only about 15 minutes walk to the main train station. You can also easily get a taxi, and there are some car rental agencies at the station as well. There's street parking nearby, but the apartment is centrally located enough that we just walked everywhere most of the time.
One recommendation: make sure to go to the central market in the morning and stock up on produce, bread, Jamon y Queso , and of course wine. It's about a ten minute walk, and the quality of the produce is very good. Also there's a small Carrefour express a short walk away as well for other supplies.
In summary, this is an excellent apartment for a family visit to Malaga. We look forward to coming back!
