Pros: Our trip was pretty much a last minute booking and booking in July is a very busy season for Marbella. Some of the other places we looked at it was so difficult to get a response on the availability. Rupert was very responsive and we were quickly able to book the apartment.
Pro's-
Very close to the beach and town
Very clean
Nice size for a family of four
Staples were left for us to use...ie toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap
They left a bottle of wine and water in the fridge upon our arrival to welcome us. Nice touch
Plenty of space for clothes
Great view and nice large windows
Cons'
A little dated with the furniture
Kitchen rather small but that is how many kitchens appear to be and it wasn't advertised as larger so that's fine
The mosquito's were bad so we had to close all the windows and since there were no screens we had to use the air conditioning. Would have been nice to leave open and feel the breeze
Loud at night as you are so close to the board walk and it's lively at night..again some people may not mind and its not too bad if you close the windows
My biggest con would be that the advertisement showed a sunny balcony which I was looking forward to. We travelled in July so maybe in the winter the sun lies differently but we had no sun at all as the roof of the balcony blocked the sun, pretty much all day. I tiny corner had some sun for a an hour maybe.
