Malagueta, Primera Linea de Playa

Die Unterkunft hat eine perfekte Lage, wenn man viel Zeit am Strand verbringen will. Man muss nur die Straße zur Promenade überqueren. Aber auch die Altstadt und der Hafen sind bequem zu Fuß zu erreichen.

La ubicación era inmejorable, en plena playa de La Malagueta. Paqui fue muy amable y nos lo puso todo muy fácil. El apartamento era pequeño, pero tenía lo indispensable para pasar unas vacaciones de pascua. Sin duda, volvería a elegir este alojamiento si volviera a Málaga.

El apartamento no tenía balcón ni vistas al mar, pero esto no fue un inconveniente.

Great apartment, nice owner, the best location. Everything is close to the beach the shop, and the promenade, and restaurants.

A littlest bit noisy, poorly ventilated small room.

I liked that it was close to the beach and to the port, a supermarket really close, cafes and restaurants just a few steps away. The apartment was clean when we arrived, and we could collect the key at 1AM (for an extra fee). There was air conditioning in every single room (bedroom 1, bedroom 2, and living room), which was great. Also, the hosts have answered really fast when I asked questions. I liked that I found shower gel and shampoo, and that I found 4 beach towels nicely colored, and even two umbrellas which we could take with us on the beach to stay in the shade. I also liked the entrance to the apartment, clean and with beautiful tile art.

I chose a more expensive place wishing for the stay to be good, but there was an important drawback - no fresh air in the bedrooms. I didn't expect that both bedrooms windows were not opening to sunlight/fresh outdoors. It didn't help that the bedrooms smelled like mold, plus no good option to refresh that. The windows of the bedrooms are both towards the stairs/corridor, and the corridor would later open towards an inner dark mid-building air-intake. So when I got home we had two choices: either I kept the bedroom windows closed and then it smelled like mold, or I kept them open and it smelled like food from the neighbors. Also, during the night, we couldn't sleep with open windows because we would hear the people talking basically half meter from us as they were returning home, smell the kitchen smells, and get disturbed by the sensor corridor light which would turn on and off whenever someone passed by under our windows, thus lighting/un-lighting our bedrooms. I wish this special setup with the windows would have been visible in the pictures of the apartment, but it was carefully concealed.
