  Outdated apartment, broken air conditioning and unacceptable customer service

  The apartment is relatively spacious, which is certainly a positive feature. Its location is also convenient, with Málaga city centre and the main pedestrian shopping street approximately a 10-minute walk away. A coffee machine is provided, although not a single coffee capsule was included. While this is a minor detail, I would consider a coffee machine with at least a few complimentary capsules a reasonable basic expectation for a three-bedroom holiday apartment.

  Our experience was extremely disappointing. 1. Unacceptable deposit procedure: Despite having paid approximately €700 in full, we were asked to pay an additional €150 security deposit upon arrival at Málaga Airport, using an unfamiliar external payment link. I offered cash or an instant Spanish bank transfer, but both were refused. Even Booking.com flagged the link as suspicious and removed it from their messaging system! Management nevertheless threatened to withhold our keys unless we used their link, potentially leaving us without accommodation or a refund. 2. Misleading photographs: The apartment is considerably more worn than the listing suggests. The bathtub was rusty, walls and fixtures were deteriorated, and the toilet brush holder was broken. Although relatively clean, the property had a persistent musty smell. 3. Non-working air conditioning: Several units had different remote controls, some with dead batteries. Once switched on, the air conditioning merely circulated warm air without cooling. With indoor temperatures around 30–32°C, staying there was extremely uncomfortable. 4. Excessive noise: Only AFTER payment were we informed that the first-floor apartment was in a noisy location and that noise complaints would not be accepted. The street noise was considerable even with the windows closed (mostly due to drunk people), while opening them was almost unavoidable because the air conditioning did not work. 5. Inconvenient key collection: After arriving at the advertised address by taxi, we had to drag our luggage another 700–800 metres to collect the keys from a different building. Conclusion: Outdated photographs, poor maintenance, ineffective air conditioning, excessive noise, questionable payment procedures and inflexible management. Important conditions were disclosed only after payment. I cannot recommend this property.

  O apartamento estava muito limpo e tinha tudo o que é necessário para a estadia. Fica muito perto do centro histórico e tem bastantes lojas, restaurantes e supermercados. Apesar de ficar perto da vida noturna do bairro, sentimos tranquilidade e segurança. Ótima comunicação com a gerência do apartamento. Recomendo.

  A televisão só tem 4 canais. Para quem não é tão jovem e não faz saídas noturnas sentimos falta de relaxar com um filme ao fim do dia.

  Spacious apartment with great features and close to local amenities and places of interest

  Was on a road used by returning revelers resulting in being woken up in the early hours of the morning
