Duplex with private terrace & city views - Center by REMS

There is alot of furniture on the terrace and although this isn’t an issue it could be better with less. The apartment supports 4 people, yet there is a table and chairs for 6, there are also 2 random plastic chairs , a storage bench seat that would seat 3 and an outside comfy seating area that would seat 6. There is also a bbq, a sun shade and numerous plants. There are however no sun loungers on the terrace. Could easily remove the excess chairs and bench seat

Where to start. Collecting the keys that weren’t keys but a code was a journey in itself and then opening the doors every time with your phone was faff. The apartment itself was clean and modern except for dirt around the shower sceerns. There were ants all over the kitchen work surfaces The roof top was filthy and had bird poo all over the furniture. In the pictures they show a parasol on the terrace which is definitely needed, there was a base but there was no parasol. Furniture on the terrace was tatty and stained. A corrugated plastic sheet is fit on the roof, this was loose so when the wind blew in sounded like someone was drumming in the apartment. While the bedroom is quiet on a night the noise in the lounge and on the terrace is relentless all night, every night. But the icing on the cake and what really tarnished our visit to Malaga is the deposit of 300 euro they take before the key code is given and supposedly returned within 8 working days. This still hasn’t been returned after 4 weeks and numerous conversations with REMS staff. Having done some digging of reviews of REMS properties in Malaga this doesn’t look like the first time this has occurred with travellers. As a frequent traveller I hope this information helps others when choosing where to stay in Malaga.
