Reviews
Julie from United Kingdom (9/10)
We absolutely loved this apartment and felt very at home there, it was super clean throughout with nice little touches such as coffee/oil and some toiletries. The location was great, a 10 minute walk over the bridge and into the main part of the city and 20/25 minute walk to the beach, 15 minutes to the train station and 2 minutes to the bus stop, a large mercadona supermarket is 10 minute walk away. The apartment itself was quiet and peaceful on the 3rd floor (there is a lift) with a comfortable bed in a large bedroom (aircon in both main rooms but never needed it) with loads of wardrobe space and drawers, a cute galley style kitchen with everything you could need ( although eating out in Malaga is a must) with a utility area and washing machine, we asked for a few cleaning products and our host obliged. It also has a lovely terrace with comfortable furniture which we enjoyed with a glass of wine after a hard day on the beach or sightseeing. There is also a nice bathroom with a shower (the shower is quite small but fine for us) a bidet, basin and toilet – and plenty of shelves to put toiletries. The lounge is quite spacious with a comfortable sofa and a 4 place dining room set and a huge TV. The apartment was very quiet we only heard our neighbours once playing the acoustic guitar which was actually lovely. We stayed for 2 weeks and thoroughly enjoyed it, Dora was a superb host and I have no hesitation in recommending this apartment for both long and short stays in Malaga.

Clean good size apartment ,well furnished and equipped, short walk to centre
Arboltree from Estonia (9/10)
The apartment is very lovely and nicely decorated with great detail. Everything is thought through one would need even for the longer stays.
Although the location might look "a bit far" on the map, you can walk to the old town in 10 minutes. I personally liked to live in the quiet residential area and be more like a local than a tourist.
The small terrace adds to the apartment although I did not get to use it as much I expected because every evening I arrived back to the apartment when it was already dark. I would like to return for a longer stay to have the time to chill at the terrace as well.
I did not see the sun ever shining to the terrace, so for those who do not like being in the hot sun, it would be a perfect place to enjoy a great book, tea, coffee or wine.
There is a wonderful restaurant around the corner called SALA with unique concept, lovely chef and weekly menu, I suggest to check out that too.
If you need to ask or specify something the owner is just a message away and replies quickly.Maria from Ireland (7/10)
