Great apartment just 5 minutes from the beach! The harbor with many restaurants, bars and shops can be reached in 8 minutes on foot. The nearest large supermarket is a 10-15 minute walk away and has everything you need. Malaga Airport is only 45 minutes away by car. There are over 70 golf courses on the coast and the hearts of surfers and kite surfers beat faster in Tarifa. Culturally interested travelers will also love this area and get their money's worth, be it the Alhambra in Granada, Seville or the white villages, just to name a few travel destinations. I am happy to give you further information and tips on how to organize your stay on the Costa del Sol. The apartment can accommodate 4 people (two bedrooms) and is suitable for young and old. The kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher, microwave, small oven and washing machine. The apartment is bright and has a great view. The urbanization also has a swimming pool that the tenants can use. A separate, covered parking space also belongs to the apartment. It is a small but fine paradise. Animals are not allowed. You will be welcomed by my neighbors Diego and Ana Maria, who are also available to answer any questions you may have during your stay. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers ### Pool/Spa -

Mar 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Joli appartement spatieux et bien agencé,mais très mal isolé At first glance we could have given a 5 star BUT already on the first day we had water on the kitchen floor coming out from the dishwashing machine and under the zink, later on even the washing machine was lackning on the floor. The stars fell down one by one but the prompt intervention of the neighbours made the situation acceptable though far from ideal. The draws of knives and forks fell apart so they had to be remouved. The bathroom is perfect but the lacking of water under the zink caused the presence of unavoidable silverfish on the floor and bathtube. The apartment is situated on the second floor, surrounded by other apartments in all 4 directions, rumors such as snooring people in the night and music after 23 hours was unavoidable due to tiny constructed walls and floors. You wanted our impressions and here they are. We knew from the beguinning that leaving our home we were loosing in standard and comfort but renting a place for 60 days one can not accept the kitchen standard. We can imagine that people renting for a week will never use the kitchen. In conclusion we are satisfied of staying for the whole period but reluctant to the idea of coming back again. A special mention to Ana-Maria and Diego for being present and always available, unfortunately that can not be said for the owner ##### Roberto R.
