Reviews

• Catalin from Romania (8/10)

  – Good location, very close to the bus station for day trips and relatively close to the main avenue and city center, very close to a market
  – Relatively quiet, as it was not on a boulevard, also probably helped that we went at the end of the touristic season
  – Spacious
  – AC in almost all rooms
  – Surprisingly good thermal insulation, ran the AC during the morning for a bit and the house was cold in the evening when we were back
  – Spacious terrace
  – Comfortable couch to sleep in, probably the best I've had so far
  – Sufficient power plugs, didn't feel like I needed to go out and buy an extension cord

• Anita from Ireland (8/10)

  Spacious apartment in a great location in Malaga. Very close to the train station and plenty of shops and restaurants including a shopping mall. It was very clean and had most of the facilities needed for a comfortable stay. The 3 bedrooms suited us well as we were 2 adults and 2 children.
  The apartment has a terrace which is probably a good bonus during the summer.

• Marcin from Poland (8/10)

  Beds are really comfortable, apartament is cozy and spacious. Wifi is working as expected.
  Unfortunately, you can easily hear cars and taking people outdoor but it's not a big deal since street is rarely used by others. It's good idea not to turn on 2xAC, electric heater and heating plate in the kitchen at the same time 😉
  
  The owner provided an iron on our request. That was really nice.
