Easy check-in process, close to bars and restaurants (but far away enough to not be affected by the noise), super responsive management (I locked myself out once and someone came within 20 minutes to let me back in; I needed to stay an extra night and it was easy to arrange; they also brought extra sheets and towels upon request). The apartment had everything I needed to feel right at home during the month that I was there.

First time using Flatio and will not use again. Will stick with Airbnb and other reputable sites when booking in the future. The entire experience was less than satisfactory. There were challenges with booking because the rate, dates, and website were inaccurate. The initial apartment that we booked ended up being very dark and uncomfortable. To the host’s credit, they were able to move us to a different location. The second apartment was better but still not great. Weird electricity situation with the keys in that we had to put the key into a switch to have power, which made it difficult for the two of us to ever be apart. When we asked if we could have a second set, the host said no. Other issues included a broken ceiling fan that the host didn’t repair even though we were there for 3 weeks, a leaky refrigerator and water heater, pillows so thin that we went and bought our own, cockroaches in the kitchen, only one towel each, etc. The location is great and we still enjoyed our time in Malaga, but we would not recommend Flatio or Malaga Planners.
Neighborhood
Lots of clubs that pretty much were disturbing at night. Other than that, shops/pharmacies/restaurants everywhere
