Great host who wants to help. The location is super as all of the centre of Malaga, the promenade and the town beach is walkable. We found public transport to be really good reliable and inexpensive we used buses, metro and trains. We used taxi services and Uber and had no problems at all (we have no Spanish language).
We were there for all February and had only 2/3 days of poor weather, the sun shone and we enjoyed ourselves.
