Very clean and tidy yet with more character than you would think. The finish is good and a cut above your standard place. Silvia really was an excellent host and it made all the difference. There was a bottle of wine waiting for us milk and a bottle of water in the fridge, coffee for the machine when we arrived!! Stunning welcome, but it's these small touches that made Silvia stand out.
The small beaches of Guadalmar are literally close, tens of metres from the complex. We had some food and a drink in the "Chiringuito" - the beach front bar - which was good value and pleasant.
We used the swimming pool which was a good size and not too cold for May! There were also paddle tennis courts (rackets in the apartment) which I wanted to use (you have to book) but didn't get round to.
We had a hire car which we found invaluable, getting to Malaga centre and surrounding places was a matter of minutes, and it felt brilliant having it secure in the gated parking place for the apartment. Getting around by public transport might not be so easy as it's buses or taxis to get places.
All in all this is a nice, good value apartment that's well presented and made a great stay by the excellent host. Recommend - the best Airbnb experience we've had so far.
