The apartment has some definite strengths. Communication with the staff was prompt and helpful, the location offers excellent walkability to shops, groceries, and attractions, and the space itself is well-sized for a solo traveller. I also appreciated having both a washing machine and air conditioning.
However, several issues affected my overall experience. The ground-floor location made me feel uncomfortable opening the windows while travelling alone, particularly because it appears homeless people were frequently gathered directly outside. The requirement to dispose of used toilet paper in a small garbage bin rather than flushing it was also unexpected and detracted from the experience.
While some renovations have clearly been completed, parts of the apartment still felt tired, and some updates appeared to be cosmetic rather than substantive. In addition, major sidewalk construction was taking place immediately outside the building during my stay, creating significant noise and dust.
While I recognize that the construction may have been outside the property's control, when considering the overall condition and experience against the price paid, I was disappointed with the value.
My last concern was I booked through Expedia but unexpectedly received payment instructions from Living4Malaga via WhatsApp. I was concerned it could be a scam and had to contact customer service to verify it, which was inconvenient.
