Livensa Living Málaga Feria: A Decision Review
This residence is located at Calle 2, Cruz de Humilladero, 29006 Málaga, Spain. It offers studio apartments with monthly rents ranging from 683 EUR to 1,380 EUR (indicative — confirm with the operator). The city of Málaga has a lowest listed price of 550 EUR per month across six properties on the platform, so Livensa Living Málaga Feria sits above the entry-level segment.
The property opened relatively recently and features a library, gym, and cinema as on-site amenities. Studios come with a kitchenette equipped with tableware and a microwave. Leases can start from five months, and the earliest availability is 17 August 2026.
Who this residence suits
- Students or young professionals who want a brand‑new building — The property is modern, and the studio units are clean and designed for one person.
- Those who prioritise on‑site leisure facilities — Having a gym, library, and cinema under the same roof adds convenience if you prefer not to go out for study or exercise.
- People comfortable with studio living — There are no shared apartments (ensuite or shared rooms); every unit is a self‑contained studio. If you value privacy and can handle a compact space, this is a direct fit.
- Short‑to‑medium term stays — With a minimum lease of five months, the residence works for a semester or a full academic year without requiring a 12‑month commitment.
Who should think twice
- Those on a tight budget — The starting price of 683 EUR is roughly 24 % higher than Málaga’s city‑from price of 550 EUR. If you are looking for the cheapest available option in town, this is not it.
- Anyone who wants or needs a full kitchen with a stove — The studio has no stove. A multi‑cooker oven is provided for reheating, steaming, or grilling, but you cannot do stovetop cooking.
- People who are very sensitive to maintenance responsiveness — Several reviews report unresolved maintenance issues. The residence’s handling of repairs has received criticism.
- Those concerned about deposit handling — Multiple reviews allege that deposits are not fully returned, with deductions labelled as “damages”. Note that the listed deposit on the platform is 250 EUR (indicative — confirm with the operator), but actual practices may differ based on individual contracts and check‑out inspections.
What residents actually say
The property holds a Google rating of 3.9 out of 246 reviews. Below are three verbatim extracts:
Cynthia KL, Malaysia — 5 / 5
“New building, clean studio, with kitchenette complete with tableware and microwave. Cant cook because no stove, but you can reheat/ cook /steam /grill with its multi cooker oven.”
This positive review highlights the cleanliness and the practicality of the kitchenette for simple meal preparation. It also confirms the lack of a stove, which is a trade‑off to consider.
Manno Eglain — 1 / 5
“I am currently living here for about 7 more months and since the beginning i have complained MULTIPLE times about a missing screw in my chair which makes the chair slanted and the maintenance came to fix it and then it immediately broke again afterwards and no one has come again (it’s been 2 months and still not fixed).”
This review points to a slow or ineffective maintenance service. Even a minor defect remained unresolved for two months.
Tanner Carpenter — 1 / 5
“If you can avoid living at Livensa Living Malaga, do it. If you have to live here: know the following. You will pay at least Є1000 for your deposit, and will not get it back. It is a tip you pay them for staying there. Out of my Є1000, I got 550 back, and 650 out for “damages”. These damages were already in the room wh” (review truncated)
Though the text cuts off, this review strongly criticises the deposit‑return process, claiming deductions for pre‑existing damages. The platform‑listed deposit of 250 EUR does not match this experience, so it is essential to clarify the exact deposit amount and the inspection procedure with the operator before signing.
Price positioning vs. the city
Málaga’s lowest listed studio price across similar platforms is 550 EUR per month. Livensa Living Málaga Feria starts at 683 EUR — a premium of roughly 133 EUR per month. In exchange, you get a new building, extra amenities (gym, cinema, library), and a studio design that feels modern. For someone who values those extras and can afford the higher rent, the price is competitive within the mid‑range. If budget is the primary concern, other properties in the city start lower.
Room‑type guidance
Only studios are available. There is no ensuite, no shared apartment, and no twin room. The studios come with a private bathroom, a kitchenette, and a combined living/sleeping area. The exact square footage is not provided in the data, but based on typical student studio layouts in Spain, expect an efficient design that suits one person.
- Choosing a higher‑priced studio likely means a larger floor plan, a better view, or a higher floor. Prices go up to 1,380 EUR, so the range is wide. Confirm with the operator which features (if any) differ between the cheapest and most expensive units.
Booking timing
The earliest move‑in date is 17 August 2026. Since the residence is relatively new and offers a full set of amenities, it may be in demand for the 2026–2027 academic year. If you are aiming for an August/September 2026 start, it is advisable to check availability as soon as possible — ideally several months in advance — because the most affordable studios tend to be taken first.
Leases run for a minimum of five months, so the property is flexible for students who only need a semester or a work placement. For a full academic year, you can extend beyond the minimum.
Frequently asked questions
Is the kitchen suitable for cooking full meals?
No. The kitchenette includes a microwave, a multi‑cooker oven, and basic tableware, but there is no stovetop. You can reheat, steam, or grill, but you cannot boil pasta or fry food on a burner. One resident confirmed this, so plan accordingly if you rely on home‑cooked meals.
How does the deposit compare to other properties in Málaga?
The platform lists a deposit of 250 EUR (indicative — confirm with the operator). However, some reviewers claim they paid around 1,000 EUR and received only partial refunds. This discrepancy suggests that the actual deposit may vary depending on your contract or nationality. We recommend asking the operator directly about the exact deposit amount and the conditions for its return before booking.
What are the nearest universities or transport links?
The data does not list nearby universities. The property address is in the Cruz de Humilladero district, about 1.5 km from the city centre. Málaga’s main train station (María Zambrano) is within walking distance or a short bus ride, and the city has a metro system. Check the operator’s website for specific proximity to your campus.
