Pilar’s apartment is in prime position for all the best bits of Malaga. In less then 10 mins you’re right in the centre of everything, yet the apartment is quiet and relaxing.
The flat itself isn’t as big as the photos make it look, and calling it a 2 bed is a little but of a push, as the ‘second’ room is just a camp bed at the bottom of the extremely steep ladder to the terrace, but it’s has everything you need, and the terrace is the star of the show and gives you the extra space needed. There were 3 people in our group and we all said any more would be too cramped.
The apartment was very clean, although the beds are a little tired as is the linen, which really needs to be replaced with newer sets. The kitchen equipment could also be looked at, especially the percolator which has seen better days. (There is a coffee pod machine though as an alternative). All in all, everything is there that you need, it’s just a little used now...
Pilar is a great host, always on hand and was a star when our flight was delayed by 12 hrs. She organised for us to be met at the apartment, showed around and given top tips, even though it’s was late on a Sunday! Prior to our arrival I received emails with lots of hints and tips on what the city has to offer...and it’s a lot!
Overall the apartment is great value, in a fabulous location and offers all you need. Yes, some aspects are a little tired and maybe a few small things like some toiletries or a welcome pack would be a bonus, but I have to say we really liked the flat and our host.
Malaga really is an amazing city and I am looking forward to coming back to explore some more!
