Beautiful Convenient Location - Owner Needs to Deal with Odor
The location was fantastic. We loved the area and would visit it again. The space to park the car was a plus. The chiringuitos along the beach were a treat. It was great being able to walk for groceries & restaurants. The distance to Malaga city was also a bonus.
The strong odor throughout the unit was really horrible and, I feel, prohibitive for renting as a vacation unit. Sometimes the smell was akin to rotten broccoli...sometimes raw sewage. The smell in the middle room never went away -- similar to musky smelling marijuana.
Upon arrival, I contacted the owner. He said he was aware of the problem, which originated in the unit below. Since he was aware of this, he should have been more forthcoming with me upon rental. It is really disappointing to travel so far to such a beautiful place, then have to deal with the issues of the apartment. I, personally, would not have rented the unit if I'd known about the strong odor.
There were 2 AC units, but we were only meant to use one. If you choose to rent this unit, know that you will be in a beautiful location. You may want to inquire about the odor & determine whether you will be able to run both AC units. You should also ask for the guide on the unit. We did not receive that until after we arrived. We had to translate it piecemeal into English. You will need to get the keys from the lockbox at the unit before driving your car through the gate to the building & car park.
The owner was responsive to emails and agreed to return a dress we left hanging in the closet.
