Pros: close to Plaza de la Merced and the city center, plenty of tapas and other eateries within walking distance, elevator in building for luggage
Cons: A/C had been set to turn off automatically after 90 minutes of run time, so we were waking up multiple times each night to turn it back on; we asked via the Airbnb messaging app for this feature to be turned off so that we could run it all night (necessary in summer), but we received no follow-up and we ended up having to fix it ourselves using a YouTube video as guidance. The apartment is street-facing, so you can hear everything that’s happening outside at all hours.
Overall, we loved our trip to Málaga, but will not stay in this Airbnb again.
