The apartments are really easy to get to from the airport. It's a 2 minute walk to the train station from the terminal, buy the tickets from the vending machine (2.30 euro) and the train gets you to the end of the line, 4 stops, in just over 10 minutes. From the station it's less than a 5 minute walk to the apartments. The apartment was very clean and had all you would require. It's a few minutes walk from the covered market hall and only 10 minutes to the city centre. You can also leave luggage there if you have a late flight.
There wasn't really anything I didn't like. There was a big comfortable bed, it was clean and in a good location. The only thing was that I arrived at 10.30pm and there wasn't anywhere to eat nearby that I could easily find. I'm sure there was somewhere but at that time of night I wasn't really ready to go in search of it.

The apartments are well situated right near the market. Host met us on arrival, room was ready earlier than stated check in time which was great. Host provided bus details on the surrounding area and a map which was useful. Room was as expected and additional beds set up and ready for us. Kitchen had all the required facilities.
It didn’t bother us but to make others aware - the room is on the main road so just be aware if you are a light sleeper as you can hear the traffic from the room! Additionally although there is a lift in the building you need to use the stairs to the first floor to the reception again more of an fyi if you are travelling with buggy etc.

These apartments are in a beautiful, historic building located in the centre of town, easily walkable from the train station and to all central attractions and with supermarket/s near by. Our apartment was very nicely modernised with everything you'd need including great shower/bathroom, good wifi and heating/cooling system and a comfortable bed. It was also very quiet The hosts were very responsive and helpful, including organising a taxi for us to go to the airport and providing local restaurant recommendations. Highly recommended.
There is nothing we didn't like about this apartment.

It is located near the train and bus stations (walking distance). Quiet! Even though it's in a busy street, we couldn't hear a thing from 8pm when we closed the shutters! We slept great! The staff did their best to be helpful.
It could use some tender loving care, I e. paint, etc. Our room wasn't ready in time, we had to wait. Had a terrible dining experience, which of course, wasn't the apartments fault, just didn't add to our overall experience. Although the street, area is nice and close to many restaurants.

The best location - in the middle of central station and historic old town, next to the supermarket. We had a very lovely and warm host. Apartment was really beautiful. We really liked to have so much space where our child was happy to run around. Can’t also forget to mention the huge comfortable bed!
You could hear the other people in their apartments flushing toilets and small things, but this is very normal for old Spanish architecture. There were no parties or anything disturbing, just you can sometimes hear that other people live there too. Didn’t ruin our stay at all.

The location is my top priority, close to all my favourite places to Eat Drink and Shop. Train station is only 5 mins walk and 15 mins ride to airport even at 520 am. Very impressive early train service for those early morning flights. Already recommending to friends and family and will book again,hopefully soon.
It's a struggle to find anything to dislike... Maybe to add a couple of English channels on TV before we crash out after a hectic day but no major issue.

Location, Location, Location. You are in the centre of Malaga with everything in immediate proximity, perfect for a city break. The lady in reception was very helpful and professional and took us to our apartment to ensure we were happy with it. The apartment is very spacious, clean and bed was very comfortable. Kitchen was equipped for a short stay and we impressed with the apartment for value for money. Would definitely stay here again if we find ourselves in Malaga.

It is placed in the heart of Malaga, just 300 meters from the train station leading to the airport. We had windows to the quiet parallel street with the main one, so that we could sleep quietly. You will find all basic equipment of the kitchen. Glasses for wine would be welcomed. Communication with the host was easy. There is also small "consigne" if your plane is late evening as was our case. Evidently it is not an exceptional place, but for sure very good one for a short stay in center of Malaga. I can recommend.
Nothing.

Location was excellent. Check in was easy. Bed was super comfortable. Wifi was good once we restarted the modem. Communication with staff was excellent. Kitchen was clean and modern.
Instruction manual for microwave would have been helpful. Bathroom counter space was very limited. A small unit of shelves would have been helpful. Toilet seat is loose. A drying rack for dishes in the kitchen would have been helpful.

the location is the most important thing about this place, close to anything, we only used the subway to get to the train, everything else is walking distance. The staff is very nice and willing to help you with anything.
not the greatest cleaning, but not the worst. The bed is made from 2 separate mattresses and is a little uncomfortable sometimes.
