Kitchen sponge was old and dirty, same with the dishcloth. That is just disgusting.
Very poorly equipped, broken power outlets (quite dangerous), doors that couldn´t be fully opened, the AC in the living room smelled disgusting and has probably never been cleaned (we started coughing when it was on so we had to let it be off during our stay). Extremely loud noise coming in both from the street (you could hear everything since the windows are not sealed at all) and from the staircase. In the staircase there was a smell of garbage and piss.
The woman meeting us for check in did only speak spanish and when we asked for help booking a taxi she pointed out the taxi stand at Plaza de la Merced and signed that we had to go there since she didnt spoke english.
We understand that we are in Spain but there are a lot of great translating apps nowadays, as a superhost you might think they would have this worked out, but no.
This apartment seems to be only a cash cow for the owner, since it is very poorly equipped and extremely basic overall. It doesnt give you any feeling of being taken care of, it just comes with an empty feeling.
It seems like the whole buildning consists of apartments being rented out to tourists, maybe that explains the garbage and piss in the staircase?
This apartment might work for a couple of friends in their 20's only in Malaga for partying, but we would absolutely not recommend it to grown ups or families.
We have used Airbnb quite a few times now, both in Malaga and other big cities, and this is definitely the most disappointing experience regarding apartments.
