  Lovely location, needs upgraded

  The location of the property is wonderful. easy access from Malaga airport. The size of the apartment is good and has all the facilities you would need. The terrace is great with amazing views all around. A lovely walk in both directions early in the morning to Benalmadena 3 miles one direction and Fuengirola 2.5 miles the other way. Beautiful walks. There is a great supermarket just in front of the property that has everything you could need and 2 restaurants that had lovely food, It is all self sufficient and you do not need to travel anywhere else. I was a lone traveller for ten days with my friend staying the first 3 days. It felt safe to be by myself. The beds were comfortable and the aircon was sufficient in the living area with 2 ceiling fans in the bedrooms which were enough. The pool area and garden is quiet and kept very well. Little word of warning, don't sit in the grass because I came home with a lot of what I consider ant bites. Buy a little chair from the supermarket which are quite cheap. There are no sun beds around the pool. There is a little rocky cove just below the apartment which was lovely and there are 2 beaches very close by. Washing machine great, easy to dry clothes and the 2 bathrooms a good size.

  I always like to write a true review and although there is a lot of wonderful things about this apartment there were also things that could have been better and wouldn't take much to improve. When I arrived, a ball of black hair was inside the front door, followed by more around the apartment. Under the beds were dirty and until we got the floor cleaned ourselves, it did not feel comfortable. The kitchen breakfast bar, you couldn't put your elbows on it because you stuck to it. It was very dirty, possibly due to the coating coming off the wood. Could be upgraded. We covered it with kitchen roll while we were there. There are a lot of dirty marks/stains on the walls in various places which leave you feeling that the apartment is grubby. Again, an easy fix. In the twin room I opened the wardrobe door to find a brown sticky spill in it. again, not good when you first arrive. The patio doors to that amazing view were covered in finger/hand marks. When I took the sheets off the bed half way through the stay to wash I was very dismayed at large stains on the mattress. No covers on them nor the pillow cases. I know its not a hotel, but could do better. I would class this as a 3 star apartment with a 5 star view from the terrace. The terrace is brilliant but be careful of the metal furniture. Impossible to sit at/on due to the way it heats up. So very hot. When we arrived there were no towels in the twin room and there was a plastic bag in the living room with towels in it. I opened it to take the towels and underneath them was a sheet saying if you used them, it cost 15 Euro. The towels in the whole apartment have seen better days. Some had big rips in them. I have photos of all of these things. Just a note, there are 32 steps up to the apartment just in case anyone has difficulties. I know I have listed a lot of things here, mostly could be improved very quickly, but when you overlook these things it is a lovely wee apartment in a beautiful location.
