A stylish, clean apartment in a lively neighbourhood full of exceptional street art, what's not to love? We had a great stay at Del Parque Flats, it's the perfect location for exploring the old town of Malaga on foot, with every amenity you could want on your doorstep (restaurants, food markets, supermarkets etc).
The balcony is great and we enjoyed whiling away a sunny afternoon with a book and some people watching - the street isn't quiet as it's just off one of the main tourist squares and the apartment is directly above some cool bars and restaurants. Also bear this in mind in the evening as things do get noisy - but it doesn't effect sleep at all as the bedroom is to the back of the building. The upstairs neighbour on the other hand did like shouting at 2am with all her windows open so bring earplugs in case it wasn't a one off!
Things to note: you will need to collect keys (check in) and return them at a different location to the apartment, we didn't feel this was communicated very well prior to our stay and this has been fed back to the team. Also, the "courtyard" space advertised in the listing isn't suitable for lounging, it's basically the bottom floor of an atrium through the building - it houses the air con system and has washing line facilities. We also found that the bedroom smelt incredibly strongly of fried food when the street food restaurant directly below was open (only a few nights per week) - nothing that can be done about it, but if you despise the smell of fried things, be aware!
Would highly recommend Malaga and this apartment to anyone, just like to be honest in our reviews. Would happily stay again in the future and thank Del Parque for the great week.
