Nordik Apartments Urban - Bellavista "Moskenes"

We loved staying at this apartment - it's very spacious, bright and in a great location. We were two families of three (2 adults and 1 child each), and this flat was perfect for us. It was very clean and had all the facilities we needed and more. We even had micellar water in the bathroom, tablets for the washing machine and dishwasher in the kitchen, and two sun loungers and an umbrella for the beach. There was a convenience store across the road, a Carrefour Express a couple of minutes away, and a pharmacy next door. The beach was just a minute away with its Chirringuitos and kids playground. There was also a nice restaurant nearby, opposite the Carrefour Express, which is a great option if you want to have dinner/drinks locally. We'd definitely stay here again!

The only downside was that the water in the shower kept going from hot to cold while having a shower which was annoying. However that did not spoil our stay as the rest of the facilities were incredible.

Location perfect Clean and spacious

It’s in a close neighbourhood so you can hear other flats but that’s because you are near to Malaga , it’s what you would expect

The apartment’s location is great; one small block to the beach and 20 mins walk to the center of Malaga and the port. Buses 3 & 11 stop a few steps from the property. The apartment is spacious and well appointed. All the essentials are provided. Pictures reflect actual condition. I would book again. I did not score the staff as everything is done remotely. The form to fill up seems time consuming but actually is very simple.

We had a problem turning on the electrical stove and it took us 2 days to figure out the problem: one of the burners does not work with the teflon pan. We switched the burners and it worked. I would recommend leaving instructions in the kitchen.

- Few minutes walk to the beach. - Bus can be caught straight into the centre of Malaga or a nice walk along the beach to the port and centre - You can catch the train (C1) from the airport straight into the centre of Malaga and then a bus to the apartment. This will cost about 4 euros per person, - The flat is clean - Two large sofas and a single sofa. - Coffee pods supplied for the machine but not many, only about 6 and there were 5 of us and we were staying for 2 nights. We bought some more from the supermarket. (4 euros for 16 pods) - there was a supermarket for small bits opposite the flats - Loads of nice restaurants and shops in the centre about ten mins by bus - Bus takes you straight to the Xmas market street.

Negatives - Our first night was a Friday night. When we got back to the flat around midnight there was a dog barking. Which carried on barking every few seconds until the owner returned at 2:30am! The dog is in the flat below. It was left by itself, we went to knock on the door but no one was home to answer. It seems like this happens a lot as the same complaint is in previous reviews. We are urged in all the information provided to be quiet after a certain time and no showers after 10pm because of the noise, yet other neighbours have no respect for other people in the flats. It is quite loud and can be heard in the flat. We didn't sleep until after the dog stopped barking. - drain smell from bathroom near the front door - maybe why so many air fresheners in the property - the shower temperature is not constant - it goes from really hot to really cold. The shower is quite small so unless you're small then it hard to keep stepping away from the water when it goes cold. - The kitchen tap is extremely wobbly to use, we were worried that it would pull off and there would be water everywhere - The pillows are pretty awful and lumpy - It was quite cold when we were at the flat, we didn't want to keep the heating on as it gets quite stuffy so it would have been good if there were extra blankets/duvets. - no lock on the bathroom door for the en-suite, not sure if there was a lock on the other door as we didn't use it - 10am check out is too early. We asked for a late check out but no one really got back to us about it. They said they would let us know on the day. - there is a door from the en-suite room that leads to the back of the living room. The blind that pulls down over this door is broken - we had eye masks that blocked the light out.
