Nordik Apartments Urban - Bellavista "Moskenes"

The location was good for us. Easy access to the sea front and about a 45 minute walk into town or 10 minutes on the buses which are very frequent. The apartment is spacious and clean and the bedrooms are large with wardrobe space. You have a small view of the sea two roads back from the esplanade and the apartment gets lots of light at the front. There is a small shop across the road and you can walk to a couple of beach restaurants about 10 minutes away. The bed in the main bedroom was comfortable and clean. We did not try the other! The kitchen facilities were fine for us although we did not cook so cannot comment on the oven or utensils. The washing machine worked well.

The toilets and showers were clean but they both require some work. Both toilet pedestals wobble. The shower pressure was good in the main bathroom but the temperature fluctuates a lot between hot and cold and then just goes cold before two people can finish showering after each other. The ensuite shower leaks from the hose connector and the shower head doesn't spray properly so we didn't use it at all in the end. The neighbours are very noisy. They play their music loudly and you can hear their T.V through the wall so I think the soundproofing is not good. The sofa is very uncomfortable to sit on so the flat is not as comfortable to rest in as it looks.

Bra disponerad lägenhet , lugn omgivning och lugnt hus. Bra sängar o badrum. Välutrustat kök, bra förvaringsutrymme /garderober. Toppen med tvättmaskin o diskmaskin ! Välstädat när vi kom !

Obekväma möbler , soffor o fåtöljer borde bytas ! Det behövs mer solskydd i vardagsrummet . Solen ligger på hela dagen och det gick inte att ”stänga ute” solen och de gamla markiserna för fönstren kunde inte användas.

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.

- 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.
