We didn’t stay as planned. The apartment is in an older building, is small and badly soundproofed. Half of the furniture not in the best shape. The towel in the bathroom was very messy, an absolute case for the waste bin. There is no parking space for the apartment, we had to park a little further and drag the suitcases out onto the streets for a long way. The last street had many stairs, which made it difficult to haul. The absolute no-go was that it took us a long time to open the apartment door because the lock was old and the keys didn’t fit well. This was too much for us. We returned back to the car and booked a hotel.

The receptionist Sonia was fantastic, from my experience it's a good idea to phone in advance before and after arriving in malaga, so that there will be a receptionist waiting for you when you arrive at the location and let you know what time your apartment would be ready for occupancy, the location is only a short walk to the beach and there is also a regular transport link to the town centre, on almeria street there are plenty of cafe and supermarket like supersol is just round the corner from cafe andes if you need any shopping, overall it's been a amazing experience and would definitely book again if i do visit malaga.

on arrival here i was not impressed with the surroundings, nor the stairs to the apartment, it is not good for anyone with a disability or breathing problems... the apartments are clean airy and very nice, we had a terrace apartment which im afraid had no view, and no sun :( not in january anyway, the staff member who took us up was very friendly, a really helpful man, it is a short walk to the beach down 2 streets, and that is the nearest place that we found for a restaurant, there are coffee bars all round, and lots of shops, non of which speak any english, so buying anything in the area without any spanish is hard work, having to perform a chicken "pooping" to ask for eggs was quite disturbing to say the least... and asking for steak was even funnier... "mooing" it made it very entertaining for all concerned to say the least... the best part is, its quiet, the bus stop to malaga is just outside the building and is only 1.30 each way, if your looking for night life or bars i dont think this place would suit your needs, but if your looking for the "spanish living" experience, you will love it
