Guest Reviews

• Peter (6/5): Goede ligging maar voor deze prijszetting mag er wel meer kwaliteit zijn. - Locatie Veel gebreken aan de infra, afgeleefde meubels, niet echt hygiënisch
• Karlsson Bergvall (10/5): - Lägenheten var väldigt fin och med bra läge! Terassen var helt fantastisk! Vi hade fantastiska dagar här! Det var en bit mellan incheckningen och lägenheten, men inga större problem!
• Jozef (10/5): -
• Carine (10/5): -
• Ivan (9/5): - Výborná poloha, vlastná terasa je skvelá vec. V noci ticho.
• Maros (8/5): -
• Yashar (10/5): -
• Beck (9/5): Nice apartment - Good location, well equipped apartment, comfortable chairs, car parking convenient, enjoyable stay. A kettle would have been useful, we were surprised to find mosquitos in the apartment, but once we'd bought some spray this wasn't a problem.
• Patrick (9/5): Een schitterend appartement met groot terras, te midden van een leuke en bruisende stad. - Het appartement was zeer proper en verzorgd met een leuk en groot terras. Het appartement ligt in het centrum van de stad zodat we alles te voet konden doen. Niets viel echt tegen. We waren met 2 personen en er waren 2 badhanddoeken voorzien. Dit vonden we wat weinig. Daarnaast was er één wijnglas, wel verschillende waterglazen. Een tweede wijnglas zou handig geweest zijn.
• Joanna (8/5): - Świetna lokalizacja. W centrum, blisko najważniejszych atrakcji starego miasta. Parking w cenie. Dobra współpraca z personelem, w tym bardzo dokładne instrukcje dotyczące parkowania i użytkowania mieszkania. Metraż mieszkania dwukrotnie powiększa taras. Jest bardzo funkcjonalnie pomyślany i myślę, że jest doskonałym atutem tego mieszkania w cieplejszych miesiącach niż luty. Przydałby się kubeł w łazience. Czajnik do gotowania wody. Sól i cukier. Komody i szafki nocne mają wylatujące szuflady. Poduszki są bardzo twarde. Ale może inni takie lubią.
• Handlogten (9/5): -
• Stephen (10/5): -
• Marek (9/5): Malaga - zachwycające miasto - lokalizacja zbyt ciasny garaż
• Myers (8/5): - Location It wasn't very clear how to gain access to the apartment out of normal hours.A simple explanation saying we would receive a key code on the day via WhatsApp would have been sufficient. Luckily it was only windy on our last night,I say this because the Toldo is ripped and caused a lot of noise during the night,for us and the neighbours.
• Ossi (8/5): -
• Susanne (9/5): -
• Raluca (9/5): - excellent location, spcious and clean appartment, huge terrace (almost like a courtyard), good comunication with host, accesible by elevator (my husband is in a wheelchair-but he can walk a little) no toiletries (except for some liquid soap, but no shower gel/shampoo), we only had 1 roll of toilet paper for 5 days and some dishwashing detergent would have been nice since the kitchen is so well-equiped. But these are all small things compared to the other good stuff.
• Robert (4/5): Disapointing! - Location is great! The place needs a good scrub and has declined since I stayed there in June. The floors were dirty. The funiture outside was not clean. There was used chewing gum on bedroom dresser and what appeared to be a blood stain on duvet cover.
• Stefánsdóttir (4/5): - Staðsettningin ágæt Af 3 hurðum var bara hægt að læsa 1 hurð framm á sameign . Ekki hægt að læsa glugga í borðstofu. Hraðsuðu ketill eitthvað bilaður og hitaði vatnið í kaffið ekki nógu vel. Gólfhandklæði á baði ekki hreint. Bara kalt vatn í handlaug á baði ,skrúfuðum frá heitavatns krananum undir vaski og þá lak hann ,þarf að laga. Húsgögn úti á palli sérstaklega sófi mjög slitin .sólbekkir úti MJÖG SKÍTUGIR og notuðum við þá ekki ,samt spúluðum við allt en drullan fór ekki .sturta stífluð og keyptum við stíflueiðir og hún fór.
• Sadie (4/5): - Location Dirty terrace furniture, dirty terrace floor and ripped awning. No hand towels. No kitchen drying tea clothes. Kettle faulty. Only one bed pillow each. Damaged blinds to both the patio doors. Bedroom and living room over looked. Ants in the bathroom. No mirror in the bedroom.
• Mona (8/5): Durch die Möglichkeit per WhatsApp zu kommunizieren, ist man auf unsere Wünsche (s.o.) eingegangen. Wie würden das Apart - Die Lage ist sehr zentral und damit natürlich auch laut, aber das war uns bewusst. Ein niedliches Apartment mit einer wunderschönen, großen Terrasse inkl. Liegen, Schirm und Lounge. Sehr schnelle und gute Kommunikation mit dem Anbieter der Unterkunft, wenn was gefehlt hat. Das Apartment war sauber aber wirklich nur mit dem allernötigsten ausgestattet. Es gibt z.B. nur einen Spiegel im Bad. Wir hatten extra eine Wohnung mit zwei Schlafmöglichkeiten (Klappsofa) gewählt, allerdings gab es dafür keinen Bettbezug. Das Geschirr konnte man nicht abtrocknen und es gab z.B. auch nur 1 Handtuch/Person. Als Frau braucht man jedoch mind. 3 (Körper, Haare, Gesicht) ;)
• Lorna (7/5): would find a more upgraded apartment for my next stay in Malaga. - Location is excellent - close to restaurants and within easy walking distance to most other things. I stayed in this apartment several years ago and compared to then it is now looking tired and worn in places. The bathroom ceiling is badly marked with water damage, the sofa is needing cleaned, upon entering the apartment there was a strange stale smell that took a day to clear, the outside terrace was very dirty - we moved the small sofa and it hadn;t been swept under it for some time - all of the leaves, debris immediately scattered over the terrace. There was no instructions for the air conditioner unit and it took the best part of a morning to try and figure it out. The air conditioner unit ( on the terrace) continually leaked water and the noise from this was very distracting. The wash hand basin in the bathroom leaked and the hairdryer was stored underneath this and it got wet - was reluctant to use it after this.
• Monica (10/5): - We loved the location, close to the center. Amazing to have a parking in this location as well, apartment well equiped, modern
• Clemente Moragón (7/5): - Muy a disgusto porque me han descontado de mi fianza 50 euros porque por accidente se me cayeron las llaves por el hueco del ascensor de la propia vivienda (un juego de los dos facilitados).  Propuse ir a rescatarlas si en la comunidad me facilitaban la llave del ascensor,  puesto que así se podían recuperar las llaves, a lo que no me contestaron e ignoraron. Muy poca deferencia y detalle con el cliente. Me parece abusivo.
• Monica (9/5): Lovely holiday in a great location - Location was excellent
• David (10/5): - Excellent position.private terrace. The garage directions could be better. The kettle didn't work right. Window couldn't be locked.
• Enid (9/5): Good place to visit Malaga center. - The place was comfortable, clean, and close to the main monuments. Noisy during the night.
• Letitia (8/5): Very good -
• Robert (10/5): A Great Apartment & Fabulous Location - Very comfortable property with all you need for a stay, including a kettle! You couldn’t ask for a better location, literally a few steps away from Picasso’s birthplace. Two good supermarkets close by. Lots of nice places to eat on the doorstep.The balcony is gorgeous. It is above some popular bars, so expect some noise, but this only bothered me on my final night. There is a €50 charge if you don’t remove your own rubbish, which is a bit much, considering there were no clean towels or fresh bedding for the week I stayed. On floor 0, the lift button broke, meaning I had to walk up to floor 1 to catch the lift. This is not the apartments fault, but be aware the apartment is on floor 4. Outdoor furniture was a bit grubby with bird droppings.
• Russell (5/5): With more care and attention the property could be great - its a lot of money for what it currently is - Location - close to city centre and Alcazaba and Castillo Not far to the beach Terrace is spacious enough for two people with sun loungers, chairs and table and rattan furniture Following other reviews, bed has seemingly been replaced and is now a king size with two pillows Kettle present - again following other reviews Great air con unit Two Towels for two people for five days - one was threadbare and damaged. No oven facility No views from property - over looked from apartments across street. Noisy nights from properties across street as well as bars underneath and other guests in block Sunscreen over dining chairs and table outside is ripped and quite tatty. Complimentary tea/coffee etc would be have been good Bought our own pegs as there was only 10 or so at the property - would have been a bonus if we’d have been left washing powder/tablets etc.
• Giedrius (10/5): Exceptional - I especially liked the terrace, it was a good feeling in the morning to drink coffee and have breakfast. garage, I'm not used to such narrow driveways🙂
• James (7/5): Good - Location If you are looking for a holiday without anxiety and stress, this is probably not for you. After making the booking, I was contacted to say the money hadn’t been sent; I replied saying it HAD been sent. I then received a response to say that a mistake had been made and apologised. Then I received a further email to say NO, the payment HADN’T been sent and I would need to send it again. I resent the payment. Then they contacted me to say THEY had got it wrong, the money HAD been paid and would send a refund. In theory, you get a free taxi from the airport. A recurring email (out of 19) was one telling me to log in and provide details for the taxi driver. This I did at least twice until I finally received an email saying my ‘journey had been cancelled’. So taxi cancelled – I assumed there might have been a shortage at Málaga airport. However when I arrived there, taxis were lined up as far as the eye could see. The reception, for key pick up, is not located near to the flat itself but a kilometre walk away at least. A fair trek with a suitcase and a bag in the midday Andalucían sun when you don’t know the place. The person in reception handed me ONE key – I immediately questioned that, but he said it was the same key for the flat AND building. I asked him to call a taxi for me, then we went outside. Some five minutes later he came outside and said he had made a mistake with the key but his colleague would be arriving in 10 minutes with the right keys (plural). About 20 minutes later the colleague duly arrived, at which point the receptionist said he couldn’t get me a taxi – there were none available. We then walked round the corner to where we had previously noticed a taxi rank, and there was a line of three or four taxis waiting. This is what happens when you have a decent product (the flat) and think all you have to do is sit back and let the money roll in. But if you allow a whole chain of incompetents (admin) to run that business for you, they can destroy it.
• Tobias (10/5): Exceptional - We traveled with a little toddler, and the apartment was perfect for that - roomy, stroller-friendly, and a lot of space to walk around. Amazing terrace, too.
• Emily (10/5): Perfect - Close to everything. Amazing apartment. Everything is a stones throw away. The terrace is wonderful and can get sun and shade all day. Cannot wait to come back.
• Brian (5/5): Basic facilities. Kettle didn’t work and only one toilet roll provided. - Only informed keys were to be collected 2km from property when I booked this non refundable apartment. Also pick up point closes at 9pm so if your flight were late arriving what happens then?
• Marek (7/5): Good -
• Jayanti (9/5): Great location to explore Malaga. - The location was great to explore Malaga. The bars and restaurants were minutes away but couldn’t hear much noise. The kitchen facilities were also very good for us to make our breakfast.
• Gayenor (9/5): Loved the apartment. - I liked the apartment, it was really nice and I liked the large terrace. Nothing, everything was great.
• Francis (8/5): Pretty good just a couple of issues as previously list which could be sorted and allow a stay withou - The only issue was only 2 towels supplied with 4 showers a date no adequate. We did contact the letting company but had no additional towels supplied. Additional supply of towels, be able to collect keys at premises.
• Gregory (8/5): G and G - The apartment was lovely and the location was brilliant. Plenty of restaurants, bars and supermarkets etc nearby. When we arrived in Malaga we had to pick the keys up at an office which was quite a distance away from the apartment. Not a huge problem but a bit irksome A couple of days where breezy which made it difficult to get a shower as the gas boiler kept blowing out.
• Gareth (9/5): Lovely apartment in great position to explore all that Malaga's historic centre had to offer. - Loved the location and roof top terrace No kettle for boiling water
• Giulia (9/5): Superb - I would recommend to install mosquito webs and isolate the windows better, but for the rest, the apartment was perfect and had everything we needed!
• Jimmyfb (10/5): Perfect place to stay in Malaga - Lovely apartment, perfect location Shower temperature a bit hit or miss
• Sam (9/5): Superb - Great space for 2 people and an AMAZING location with many restaurants, bars and a supermarket a stone throw away. Everything was within walking distance. Outdoor area to sit/sunbath, with a table to eat at if you wanted to make your own food or take food back. The one long pillow on the bed. It would be better to have 4 separate pillows, 2 per person. A ew outdoor umbrella as it was broken but neither a huge issue, just nice to haves.
• Julia (3/5): Not worth the price. Hosts will not help with problem in the apartment. - Good location The shower does not work. It is eather super cold or super hot. And its leaking everywhere.. host ignored this problem. The sewer was also clogged up. Took 4 days for them to fix it. The lockers to doors and windows to the terrace does not work. Does not feel safe. Hosts ignored this problem. No view from the terrace. There is one big pillow in the bed. We do not recommend this place.
• Debs (8/5): Fabulous location but disappointing facilities. - Fantastic location and great outside terrace. Poor facilities - no hand towels, tea towels or wine glasses. Bedding that didn't fit, broken sun umbrella. It could be a 10 with a bit of attention.
• Rita (8/5): We had a lovely stay at the apartment and are happy to recommend it. - Great location, very clean, terrace was great to have during hot weather. Kettle would have been convenient. Also, you should attend to the umbrella shade on the terrace which has worn out so will not stay on the stand if the stand is closed.
• Eileen (10/5): Superb accommodation in a fabulous location. - The location and the lovely and large terrace area. Nothing.
• Tracey (9/5): We had a great stay in this apartment, the hosts were really helpful and friendly. - Good apartment with a great outdoor space, in a lovely location close to everything you need. No kettle
• Jakub (9/5): Superb - The apartment was amazing. We had a terrace and we could enjoy privacy meanwhile we were in downtown. I can recommend it for vacation in Malaga. There are grocery stores by 1 min. walking, restaurants, bars. We got all of the information we needed and the host was answering very quickly. If there was an issue we communicated very well. When we go to Malaga next time we will choose the same apartment. A kettle for making hot water for tea and coffee would be good
• Andrea (9/5): Lovely place for our stay in Malaga! - Location was amazing, outdoor space was lovely, very clean. Communication was great, any questions were answered right away Only thing missing for us was a modern coffee maker but not a big deal
• Sharon (8/5): Very good - Location is fabulous. Loved the outside space with the apartment. No tea towel to dry the dishes and a tiny amount of washing up liquid. Only one hand towel.
• Ymkje (8/5): Great place, great location and amazing roof terrace - - [ ] Great location - [ ] It was really nice for us to park the car for free - [ ] Amazing roof terrace - [ ] Good wifi - [ ] Lots of utensils in the kitchen - [ ] Good working AC - [ ] The bed is a bit small and it just has one big pillow - [ ] The door of the bathroom doesn’t close properly so you can also not lock it. Not a big problem for us since we are partners, but I think this should be fixed - [ ] The soap in the bathroom was empty
• Willyabild (8/5): Very good -
• Sally (9/5): Superb - Great location for getting around the whole city. Picasso statue at the end of the street! Supermarket around the corner sold everything you needed. Fabulous sized terrace, even though it's slightly overlooked. Great shower size. All amenities you need. Wonderful tapas bars to visit very close by. Had a great week. We had to collect the keys from the booking office, and then our taxi wouldn't take us to the property as he said he could only do one journey! So we had to book an Uber to get us to the apartment! Can get quite noisy at night as bars below. No laundry powder to wash clothes. Only 2 cheap toilet rolls supplied for a weeks stay. No towel change, only 2 large and one hand towel. No tea towel. None of the above were major issues for us - but just mentioning them!
• Jane (8/5): great location, helpful host -
• Alyson (10/5): Exceptional - Great apartment in heart of old part of Malaga. Lovely terrace with loads of space to enjoy good weather. Supermarket just round the corner, loads of bars and restaurants closeby. Walking distance to everything! Loved it Nothing
• Donald (10/5): Great trip to a great city - Penthouse apartment has a modern interior and very well situated near the old town with a great large balcony and was spotlessly clean on our arrival. Loads of great restaurants and Tapas bars within walking distance of apartment. Host very helpfull and even sorted our Airport transfers Nothing
• Janet (9/5): really enjoyed Malaga - splendid birthday treat - good outside space - well kept and clean needs a kettle - could have done with better instructions about how to access parking (road no entry) quite tight space don’t hire a big car!
• Allan (10/5): Exceptional - We loved our stay at this property. Convenient parking at the basement and elevator. Big apartment with a big terrace. Everything was super clean and updated. Neighbor on the floor below was very friendly and opened the garage door for us when we were locked out. Close by supermarkets and restaurants. The kitchen window and the bedroom sliding door leading to the terrace don’t have a working lock. You can close the exterior terrace shutters so that everything looks closed, but at the end, the apartment is technically unlocked from the terrace.
