Excellent Option
Very good apartment, very complete and very well located, walking just a few blocks from the center of Malaga, very safe area, and if you go by car, the parking lot that is 150 meters away gives you a discount on your stay with the apartment voucher

Worst accomodation for us since now
The apartment is centrally located, close to restaurants, and reasonably spacious. Unfortunately, these were the only two positive aspects of our stay. Upon arrival, the apartment had a strong smell of burnt wood and the air felt quite suffocating. No basic amenities were provided, such as shower gel, shampoo, or kitchen paper towels. I informed the host that the kitchen cloth was very dirty and had an unpleasant odor, and they subsequently brought us a new one.
The small room contains a single bed with an uncomfortable mattress, and the balconies are nonexistent, unlike what is shown in the photos on various booking websites. Although the apartment was not fully clean when we arrived — we found a fake nail on the floor and a considerable amount of dust under the beds and on top of the cupboards — the host requested that on the last day we take out the trash ourselves (despite the bathroom not having a bag for the small bin next to the toilet, which forced us to empty it in an area where previous guests had left their rubbish) and wash the dishes, leaving the apartment in the same condition in which we found it. This seemed unreasonable, especially since the dishes we found in the drawers were already quite dirty.
The host also asked us for a deposit upon arrival, despite the fact that it is not legal to leave card details written on a sheet of paper inside the apartment. We have traveled extensively, but we have never encountered such conditions. We will certainly not return.

It has had better times. I do not recommend it.
On the positive side, good location (10 minutes walk from the train station). Very well air-conditioned and the manager (Carlos) very attentive.
But... On the negative side, the cleaning and maintenance in general. Terrible carelessness. The terrace on the 4th floor is magnificent, but the sun loungers are dirty and worn, and the sofas and terrace table are very dirty.
Regarding cleanliness, the photos speak for themselves (and I didn't take photos of the sorry state of the oven and microwave). We spread sheets over the sofas so we could sit and since there is a supermarket 100 meters away we bought products and had to clean the bathroom (it's easy to see when a glass in the bathroom is dirty), the living room table, kitchen counter, microwave full of churretes...
A shame. I'm sorry but I can't recommend it.
By the way, upon arrival you can ask for an additional deposit of €150.

The apartment is good, and the host is bad
I had the opportunity to stay at this apartment during 3 years (from 2021 Covid time they were giving long-term rent), and my experience was one of contrasts. The apartment itself was, without a doubt, really nice.
However, my enthusiasm for the apartment was significantly dampened by the landlord when the first time 2 years ago, they tried to make us move out (it was illegal from their side, because in Spain we can extend the contract up to 5 years with the same price - it could be raised only for a few % because of inflation). The second time it was now when we moved out after 3 years of living there and they just took away our deposit without any notice, only after several time of contacting them they sent some pictures of "damages" which were not found in our presence during the check out and they told us that they will cover everything by taking our deposit. When I disagree with majority of "damages" they just ignored me.
In addition, there was always an issue with other guests, a lot of cases with screaming, knocking our door at night or early morning, very inappropriate behaviour and we should have to submit those cases each to the head office to make the guests calm down. One time it was even required to call the Police. And for all of this uncomfortable situation the host just kept our deposit in such an insolent way.
I am not sure that they doing so deep check after each guest, so it felt like some kind of "special attention particularly for our case".
Advice you to check for any "damage" even if the white wall is not so white anymore.
That is why it is 2 out of 5.

It is just an apartment
Located very good easy access to the beach and Malaga centro and airport and outlet. Big enough but it is empty of most of things such as garbage bag or tissues or washing machine liquid. Supermarket is close to the property. No cleaning. Restaurant downstairs is good.
Excellent location
