Livemalaga San Juan

For a trip with friends, the fair, or another event, these apartments work well. They're close to Plaza de la Constitución, though the place itself is old and has a number of faults. The noise from the hotel next door was a bigger issue for us, especially in the mornings when they wheeled bins past. You could hear glass bottles being recycled, and it was really disruptive. Key handover and checkout could also be handled more attentively.

Moayad was wonderful when he welcomed us and handed over the keys. The apartment was clean and had what we needed for a few days. It's in a calm spot in the historic center, and the location is ideal. The building is old, so be ready for a climb up the stairs. The bathroom could do with an update. I'd happily recommend it.

There are plenty of nearby services, from restaurants and beauty shops to fashion boutiques, buses, and taxis. The apartment itself was clean and cozy, and the man who checked us in was really helpful. Still, I wouldn't choose it for a peaceful break. It's on a narrow dead-end alley in a central area, facing a hotel rooftop terrace where people were noisy at all hours, including 2:00 and 4:00 in the morning. With the bedroom window right across from it, the constant noise got annoying. Malaga is beautiful, but anyone after quiet should think carefully before booking this apartment.

There was no getting proper rest, with noise from people lining up to visit the terrace across the street and from the garbage being taken out. The location was the one good point. The apartment was old, quite basic, and not especially clean.
