Del Parque Flats Urban

Great location and very quiet. Well equipped kitchen and perfect for winter break. Málaga a fab place at Xmas with amazing lights. Metal stairs a bit noisy so have to hope neighbours don't go up in noisy shoes but that was only downside

The apartment was very roomy. Nice bathroom and good size bedroom The overall cleanliness was okay, the oven was dirty on the bottom and the washer was dirty in the rubber part. It looked like a guest may have used dishwasher Finish in the washer, i wiped it out. It would have been nice to have laundry detergent and dishwasher liquid available for long term guests. We were there for two weeks. I purchased both of these and left them there for future guests. The location was excellent, close to everything, we liked that. Overall we would stay there again. From West Coast, Canada

At the time I booked it listed as 2 bedroom, but when I checked in it is 1 bedroom, and a sofá bed in the living for 4 of us. I went back to ask the staff stated it's 1 badroom, not 2. The property didn't have any kitchen napkins, and not enough bath soaps for 4 people to use in 3 nights. No shampoo and conditioner.

There was no personal contact between us and the flat management. Apart from two lots of salt and three coffee capsules, there was nothing to help us preparing food: no olive oil, no milk, nothing welcoming apart from the Welcome Pack with a few washing/washing up items. Only one set of keys. The excellent lift takes you to the 3rd floor and there are then 17 quite steep metal steps to navigate. The top of the steps present a potential hazard as the glass 'bannister' finishes 68cm from the top of the steps - close to the narrow route from the bedroom to the bathroom. The balcony is up three further steps and is surrounded by a 2m wall - no views. The sun was on the balcony for about 4 hours when we were there (February). The flat is very small and, due to the sloping roof in the bedroom, much of the floor space is unusable. Meals that cannot be eaten outside have to be taken on a small sofa using the raised half of a coffee table for plates. There were no instruction manuals for most of the equipment in the flat. The flat is very clean and the bed comfortable, but we are of the opinion that it is not suitable for longer stays. In fact, when we asked for additional towels the management told us to wash the ones we had got as the flat was not designed for long stays. Why didn't they tell us when we booked? We were provided extra pillows (only two originally) and crockery promptly when we asked.

Cosy apartment, within short walk of centre.
