Great location, not such a great apartment
The location is what makes these apartments worth going to, with so many lovely bars, restaurants & shops right on the doorstep. But I'm surprised that so many people gave this place a 5 star review. It was OK, that's all. If cleanliness is your top priority then this is for you; if you actually want to spend time in the apartment then not so much. Just as well Málaga offers so much to do.
Ours had no view other than the sides of the light well, and sitting out there is like sitting in a cage. It's also not very suitable for those who like to prepare some meals themselves - it lacked cooking utensils although amazingly there were sharp knives. The coffee machine is not suitable for making tea as the water isn't hot enough but you can use a saucepan. The lighting in the bathroom was very dim. The bar stools are far too high for the breakfast bar. But the fridge was a good size and the shower excellent.
The most disappointing element was that the reception (which is a 10 min walk away) was unmanned when we got there, with an obviously well-used sign saying "Back in 5 minutes". By the time the receptionist got back, a bit over half an hour later, 2 more people were waiting. She gave us some story about needing to sort out the lift in our block but at 8.00pm this didn't seem that plausible. We got 2 vouchers for tiny cocktails in the bar upstairs.
The free bottle of wine was nice and when we asked for more dishwasher tablets they were supplied. So, a very mixed bag I'd say.
