Not what expected
We ( 4 adults) stayed in the apartment for 6 weeks. The apartment is quite well equipped, we only missed an electric coffee maker, which was then arranged for us. The oven, which was not working, was also fixed. The vacuum cleaner was not working at all, but it was not mended. The owner said that we have lost some part of the cleaner, of which we did not know anything. There was a lot of mold in the apartment. It was cleaned by a charlady once, but not all of it, and it appeared again. We had to move it away ourselves. We were a little worried about the health consequences, and were about to move away. At last we were given a discount of 20 % of the rent. There was also a gangway renovation works going on just outside the apartment during our whole stay. We were not informed of that, it was a suprise, which caused a lot of inconvenience with noice and dust coming in. Especially without a vacuum cleaner. The apartment is located just beside A-7, between A-7 and the beach. Sometimes it was a bit difficult to get into the traffic, because there is no ramp. There is not very much to see in the neigborhood, and the highway is some kind of hindrance for walks. The beach is very near and it was the only place to go to have some fresh air by walking. The weather during our stay was very rainy and windy, so we could not use the terrace, it was mainly too cold and when the sun was shining, too hot. We think that in the summertime the apartment might be OK, but our visit was a disappointment. We have rented several apartments before at Costa del Sol, and in this case quality-price ratio was not correct. Special thanks go to local help Gordon.

During their stay there were indeed some works outside the building of which we had had no notice (replacing the corridor floor in an open area outside the apartment). If we had known they would take place, we would have informed them, obviously. This is why we offered them to move to another apartment and we would take care of all the logistics and expenses, or alternatively stay in the apartment with a discount of 20% on the total rental price. Yet, they chose to stay in the apartment with the discount. In our apartment there has never been any mold. When they said that there was mold, we sent the cleaning lady, and she informed us that the problem was that it was raining a lot and they were not ventilating the apartment. Our impression is that throughout their stay they have been trying to take advantage of us, getting free services not included in the rent (at least three times the cleaning lady passed to clean the apartment for free). They told us there was no coffee machine when there were actually two (induction coffee pot and a moka pot), because they wanted an electric one and we bought it for them. They told us that there was mold in the apartment and when the cleaning lady passed, they asked her to do the cleaning of the house for them (changing the bed linen included). Given this situation, we even proposed them if they wanted to move to another apartment without charging them for the change, but they refused. As for the vacuum cleaner, the cleaning person informed us that there was a missing piece and that the last time she had used it, it worked. Besides, there is also a brush to sweep and a duster in case of "emergency". As for the oven, the technician that checked it said that some liquid that had been poured on the ceramic hob which had spilled and entered the oven below. When that liquid dried, it worked, there was no failure. The oven is new and under warranty. As for the weather being rainy and windy during their stay, it is a matter of chance, and quite unusual in this area. Obviously, it is something beyond our control. For the terrace being too hot on sunny days, it is as simple as opening the cristal windows of the terrace, which are collapsible. The terrace is not hot even in summer. All the other visitors staying at our home have always been very happy and comfortable, and we've also been very happy with them. In fact, the experiences have been so good that most rentals this year are from families who have stayed last years and want to repeat.
Really nice stay
We have just spent 10 nights over xmas and new year with our family of 4 members and it was a really pleasant stay. The appartment is ideally located between Malaga and Marbella, therefore there are lots of lovely places to visit. It is also next to a fantastic walking path infront of the sea that gives you amazing opportunities to enjoy the great athmosphere there. In case you like shopping, it also has so close several shopping malls. The appartment is really cozzy, with everything you need to feel at home. And last but not least the owners Marce and Jose are ideall hostess they were really helpfull on every detail to make our stay perfect. They were not around but still manage to let us feel that next to their friend G who helped us as well. So if you are planning to visit this side of Spain this is a perfect stay. Gracias Marce and Jose
