About this property

A modernised, well equipped and spacious 1 bedroom apartment, located within the popular village of Arroyo De La Miel, Benalmadena. Ideal for couples or families to rent with a choice of short or long term rental options. Only a short distance from the beach, local amenities and entertainment venues, of which there are many to suit all tastes.
Very friendly place especially in the winter and off peak very popular with people who like to venture away on their own during the cooler autumn/winter and spring months. Many people choose to spend the entire winter in Benalmadena as there is plenty going on in the area and everyone is welcome. Personally this is my favourite time of year in the Costa del Sol.

The apartment is only a short taxi ride from Malaga airport (approx 15-20 mins)

Excellent location and well equipped apartment. Unfortunately weather not warm for part of it and felt that a few rugs could have been put on floor for winter lets and easily removed for summer. Would defnitely stay again when looking in 2020.

BETTER WELCOME WOULD HAVE BEEN NICER.

Flat well equipped with a nice view from the balcony. Well located only 2 minutes on foot from the centre « Arroyo de la Miel ». However, we think in your details of the apartment you should advice that is a charge for air-conditioning and for the sun-beds by the pool, which we were not advice again, that the pool was closed from the 15th October till the middle of May 2018. Moreover, we were very disappointed by the arrival welcome. We were just giving the key to the apartment at the reception without any information regarding where the apartment was. We do think the minimum is to be accompanied to the apartment and shown the facilities. All being part of the welcome. On the arrival in the apartment, we found things that we feel the apartment was not checked properly. Before we arrived, as the lights in the sitting room, the cooker hood and one of the electric socket did not work as the electric lighter for the gas cooker and no matches. Unfortunately, the weather became colder and the heater did not have gas in the bottle, which, we feel should have been checked for a rental at this time of the year. I do think consideration should have been made that we arrived at 2:30 pm on a Sunday, when shops are closed to be able to get items we needed (matches or a gas lighter that works). I think a good idea as a goodwill gesture would be to leave items like matches and a bottle of water. Apartamento muy bien equipado con una vista agradable. Bien localizado, a sólo 2 minutos del centro del « Arroyo de la Miel ». Sin embargo, creemos que en la descripción de su piso usted debería saber que hay que pagar un dinero extra para el aire condicionado y para la tumbona de la piscina. Además, nosotros no estábamos informados de que la piscina estaba cerrada de 15 Octubre hasta él proximo mes de Mayo de 2018. Por otro lado, estuvimos decepcionados a nuestra llegada por la manera de acogernos. Nos dio la llave del piso en la recepción sin información y tampoco nos acompañó hasta donde estaba el piso. Cuando llegamos al piso, encontramos cosas que nos demostraron que el piso no fue comprobado correctamente. Había muchas luces que no funcionaban, el fuego para cocinar tampoco y no había cerillas para encender la cocina de gas. Empezó a hacer mucho frío y necesitábamos la calefacción pero la botella del gas estaba vacía. Pensamos que debería haberse comprobado antes de nuestra llegada, como suele hacer un buen anfitrión, especialmente en invierno

LOVELY SPOTLESS APARTMENT

Arrived back Saturday from a week in Karina's apartment. My partner and myself have visited Benalmadena several times always staying in hotels near the marina. We thought we would try self catering for a change and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We caught the train from the airport to Arroyo de la Miel station for about 2 euros each which was really easy and then a taxi to the apartment although it was only about a 10 minute walk. On arriving at reception we were given the key and directions to the apartment. We were very happy with the apartment which was spotless and very well equipped with absolutely everything you could need. It is in a lovely quiet location with many bars and restaurants nearby. it is about a 10 minute stroll to the beach and marina but took a little longer getting back as it is all uphill. However, this helped to keep us fit after overindulging with the lovely food we had. Buses run up the hill so no problem if you don't want to walk and fares are very cheap. We were recommended CBs restaurant which is all homemade food and we ate there 3 times and it was delicious. Being near the station we caught a train to Fuengirola market which was huge and then had a few hours on the beach there. We also went to Mijas by bus which was cheap and was such a beautiful place with spectacular views and plenty of restaurants and shops. Cable cars run up the mountain with breathtaking views and there is a theme park close by for children.All in all we had a lovely week beautiful weather and would definitely do self catering again. Thank you Karina for renting us your apartment.

Very good apartment.

Excellent location in a clean, tidy and secure apartment. Suitable for 2 people. Ideal for our needs. Arroyo is a fabulous area returning again in the summer with my family. Lots of lovely tapa bars and good base to explore with good rail and bus links.

Great property in ideal location

We stayed at Karina's apartment for the last week of March and had a fab time. Both the weather and the apartment were great. We are a couple in our 50s and the apartment had everything we needed. It was ideally situated for the bars of Bonanza Square, a 5 minute walk from the gorgeous Benalmadena Marina and only 5 minutes the other way to the train station at Arroyo. It was a great base to visit Fuengirola, Mijas, Torremolinos and Malaga - as you can see we had a busy week. The apartment was spotlessly clean and quiet both in the day and at night. Karina was very easy to deal with and we had no issues at all, just enjoyment. Carl Walters 2nd April 2017

About the host

Hosted by Karina and Alun Williams

MY NAME IS KARINA AND I OWN THIS APARTMENT ALONG WITH MY HUSBAND. I DECIDED TO BUY AN APARTMENT IN SPAIN AS I WAS COMING ON HOLIDAY HERE EVERY YEAR WITH MY DAUGHTER, AND HAD STARTED TAKING SHORT BREAKS IN THE WINTER WHICH I FOUND TO BE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE TO THAT IN THE SUMMER. I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THESE SHORT TRIPS AWAY AND FOUND IT SO RELAXING THAT I DECIDED TO BUY MY OWN APARTMENT AND MAKE IT A HOME FROM HOME EXPERIENCE. FRIENDS HAD ALSO BOUGHT IN THIS COMPLEX AND I HAD GOT TO KNOW QUITE A LOT OF PEOPLE OVER THE YEARS I HAVE BEEN COMING BACK AND FORTH SO IT MADE SENSE TO BUY HERE TOO. I WORK FULL TIME IN THE UK SO I NEEDED SOME HELP AND SUPPORT FROM MY FRIENDS TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING RAN SMOOTHLY, AND GUESTS WHO RENT THE APARTMENT ENJOY THEIR STAY WITHOUT ANY HASSLES. THAT IS WHAT I WANT ON HOLIDAY, SO THAT IS WHAT I TRY AND PROVIDE FOR MY GUESTS.

Why they chose this property

AS I SAID PREVIOUSLY. I HAD BEEN COMING BACK AND FORTH TO THESE APARTMENTS SINCE 2007, FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES HAVE GOT APARTMENTS IN THE SAME COMPLEX, THEY ARE CLEAN AND AIRY, 24 HR RECEPTION COVER, EVERYONE IS FRIENDLY AND THEY ARE IDEALLY SITUATED. A SHORT WALK INTO THE SPANISH VILLAGE OF ARROYO DE LA MIEL AND THE TRAIN STATION AND LOCAL BUSES, AND IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION A SHORT WALK TO THE BEACH AND MARINA AND OTHER ATTRACTIONS INCLUDING THE PALOMA PARK WHICH IS GREAT FOR THE CHILDREN. THE SWIMMING POOL HAS A LIFEGUARD 7 DAYS A WEEK WHICH IS REASSURING ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN. IT WAS AN IDEAL CHOICE FOR ME.

What makes this property unique

MY APARTMENT TICKED ALL THE BOXES FOR ME WHICH IS WHY I BOUGHT THIS ONE AND NOT ELSEWHERE.
ANOTHER EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FACTOR IS PEACE OF MIND FOR ME AND MY GUESTS.
ANDY AND TRACEY MANAGE THE PROPERTY FOR ME AND ALSO LIVE ON SITE, THEREFORE MY GUESTS CAN BE REASSURED THAT ANY ISSUE OR PROBLEM CAN BE RECTIFIED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY.
