Owner (Ramón) is very kind and helpful.
I can highly recommend this apartment.Kinga from Malta (10/10)
The location was fantastic, 2 minutes to the beach and 15 minutes to the old town. The owner was very nice and helpful and provided a lot of useful information about Malaga.
Sarah from United Kingdom (10/10)
Very convenient location for visiting the beach and old town. The room is clean and has a very comfortable bed. The host is very friendly and made us welcome.
Lotz from Germany (10/10)
The appartement was fantastic! 2 minutes to the main beach, 15 minutes to the old town, 1 minute to supermarket, harbour and restaurants. It was modern, clean and although well located, quiet. Roll curtain were a great extra. Ramon was the perfect host- I have never experienced such kindness. We had every information we needed beforehand, he organised the keys via keybox, gave us lot of local hints and even gave us access to a friends parking lot. In the end we forgot some things in the appartement- he met us again to hand them over – unbelievable. We only stayed one night and wished to stay longer. Recommendation without any doubt – you will be in perfect hands!
Tim from United Kingdom (9/10)
The host Ramon is exceptionally helpful, welcoming and accommodating. He offered lots of tips and suggestions for our stay. The flat is located on a side street that leads to the seafront, with lots of nearby restaurants, a coffee shop, mini market and pharmacy at the bottom of the building. The check-in and check-out process is very smooth with a keybox. The flat itself was functional, comfortable, clean and well-equipped with everything a solo traveller or couple might need for a short visit. It
is also very good value for money. Some other guests have pointed out that the bathroom is small, but we didn’t find that problematic. It is a minimalist studio apartment exactly as advertised in the listing. We really enjoyed our stay.Cathy from United Kingdom (9/10)
Excellent location and the most comfy bed. Ramon is a super host with lots of ideas for places to go and things to do.
Daniel from United Kingdom (9/10)
Central location in Malaga. Private car parking available for a very good price. Very good comms with owner and family. Would recommend for singles or couples to explore the city. Lots of restaurants on the marina within 5mins walk.
Anubhavb from Czech Republic (9/10)
Ramón is very kind and accommodating. Always available on WhatsApp. Sharing directions, tips, and recommendations both before and during the stay.
Perfect size and ALL amenities for a solo stay.
Location right across the road from the beach.
About 20 mins on foot to the old town.
Just a few mins on foot to the port.Lacramioara from Romania (10/10)
A small, chic apartment, equipped with everything you need. The location is wonderful, in the immediate vicinity of the beach, direct pedestrian access to the historic center, and the owner is very attentive to the guests, providing them with all the information that is useful for a relaxing stay!
