I have to start by saying that my husband and I stayed here with our 10-month-old baby, so our expectations and needs were definitely higher than they would have been if it was just us. Also, our stay was long (11 nights) and many of the issues we experienced would probably not matter so much for a short stay.
On the positive side, the apartment is really beautiful. You can see a professional architect designed it. It's very nicely laid out, the bedrooms are spacious and it is a great space for a family stay. However, it is a renovated apartment in a very old building. This has few drawbacks: you can hear everything through the walls, the front door is also not sound proofed and moves with every little draft and the installations are bad and unreliable. Our fuses blew several times just because several appliances were on at the same time (e.g. oven, AC, radiator). The sink in the bathroom was 99% clogged (they did offer to fix it but we didn't want to be bothered with that) and the one in the kitchen has only cold running water. All this makes for an uncomfortable longer stay.
But our biggest issue by far was the heating or the lack of it. There is only the AC and a small oil radiator. This was not enough in February with outside maximum temperatures of 16-17 degrees celsius that we had. The floor was very cold which is really bad with a crawling baby. I was reassured by many renters I contacted that heating is not needed in Malaga over winter. This is simply not true. I strongly reccommend finding a place with proper heating. We went to Malaga from cold Berlin to get some sunshine and ended up freezing in the apartment much more than we ever would at home.
We had a nice stay overall but I am sorry to say I would definitely not stay at this apartment again.
Also, the apartment is actually rented through the agency Let Malaga. Only the initial communication via airbnb is with the hosts themselves. When I wrote on whatsapp, it turned out I was communicating with the agency. I only found this out when we got there, I was never told this by the host. This made me feel uncomfortable about writing someone on their business phone over the weekend (our rental started on a Monday and I had some last minute questions). So you don't really have the airbnb experince, much more like a hotel. But this has its up sides as well: the agency is very responsive, speaks perfect English, has a whole fleet of cleaners and maintenance workers, offers airport transfers, etc.
