First the good parts of this apartment. It was clean, in a good location, very convenient for the old town of Malaga and only a 20 min walk to the beach. There is a small cafe just outside the building door and the roof area is nice to have. If you are only staying a few days this apartment should suffice, unfortunately my wife and I booked for two weeks.
Now the downside for our stay. If you wish to cook for yourself the kitchen is currently inadequately equiped. There are 12 wine glasses, 12 large plates but no cutting board, no lid for the only saucepan and no rack to dry cuttlery and the kitchen area is very small. There were no bags for rubbish and insufficient toilet paper. All are small things that make a big difference
The internet worked very well until Monday of our second week when it stopped working. After speaking to the agents a new router arrived on Tuesday afternoon. Unfortunately that router worked for about one hour then stopped. We informed the agents who said someone would be around to take care of the problem.
Wednesday came and went and we heard nothing. Thursday came and went and still we heard nothing, despite dropping into the office to enquire. Late Friday morning I received a phone call to ask if an engineer could enter the apartment to look at the wi-fi while we were absent, I said no and mentioned the idea that they should provide us with some compensation for the lack of internet for most of the week. The upshot was that at about 10.00 pm on the Friday before we left the agents called to say the owners were willing to offer a rebate of two days rent on condition that we did not leave a review. My wife and I considered that to be adding insult to injury so declined.
The real problem with this apartment, the owners and the agency who are managing it, is that when things go wrong they are very poor at fixing the problem, also very poor at communicating and then wish to just try and cover up their errors rather than learn from them.
