Within 5 minute walk of the old city, easy check-in, outstanding 600mbps WiFi, Juliet balconies to the outside (not just an interior light well like so many Malaga apartments), fully renovated, found it very quiet even at night, & bed was comfortable. Kitchen had an oven (also not in every Spanish suite), full size fridge, microwave & toaster. The washer/dryer combo and two heated drying racks were great. Brian is easy to reach on WhatsApp. The small street that it’s on can feel like a sketchy alley but families live right across and we were never uncomfortable with the people who were around. I might not be comfortable as a solo female, but had no experiences to indicate it would be unsafe. Downsides: The walls need a good clean (especially around the light switches, for example). The kitchen lacked a properly working kettle, oven mitts & tea towels (requested, not delivered). Worst is the shower doesn’t drain. It fills with water immediately & takes >4 minutes to drain, so you have to turn the water off after 2 minutes & you’re standing in drain water. Brian’s assistant plunged it but it didn’t improve, it needs a plumber’s snake. I know it’s an old building but his assistant said and we agree that it’s likely a hair clog. Overall a great stay & would repeat with a working shower drain.
