First to say we had a great time in Malaga. The city is vibrant and interesting and fun.
The location of this apartment is both a pro and a con. It is absolutely centrally located, 2 mins walking from Picasso museum, 5 from alcazaba HOWEVER it IS located OVER a very popular BAR and across the street from a banging NIGHTCLUB. The windows do an amazing job of cutting the noise but it is still loud enough to hear….until 3 AM. We were ok for two night and found it amusing but it would get old fast.
The apartment is fine, pretty minimal. There were basic tools and products missing from the kitchen that would have made the stay more enjoyable. I mentioned one such thing to the management company and was told it would be resolved the following day. I never heard back. One of the kitchen electrical breakers kept flipping so we had to check that it was “on” In order to keep the fridge running.
The furnishings are pretty simple and the beds and pillows were not that comfortable. There were no mattress pads or covers on some duvets. I would say value for money, they could have done a lot better.
Finally, I was REALLY turned off by early check-in policy. Check-in is 5pm and if you want to check in before that it will cost you between 30 and 60 Euro. I’m lucky, I live in Malaga province and could arrive when we wanted but if you were flying in, it would be a complication, inconvenient and a crappy way for them to make a few more bucks of an already expensive flat.
We had fun because we were together, but would I recommend this apartment? Not sure. Know what you’re getting for your money.
