Disadvantages of sharing a flat in Malaga

  • You’ll need to adapt to your roommate’s schedules and customs, respecting their rest and minimising noise, among other things.

  • Malaga has a vibrant student atmosphere with parties and events almost every day. If you enjoy partying, find roommates who share this interest. If you prefer a quieter environment, look for a flat where your roommates have a similar lifestyle and respect each other's need for peace to avoid disturbances.
  • If you enjoy going to the beach, make sure to keep the apartment clean and avoid bringing sand into the apartment!
