I really liked the location on the edge of the old town. The apartment is lovely and has everything you need for a few days in Malaga. The balcony is a plus. As others have remarked, it is not soundproof, which is good to know if you are sensitive to noise. I found it perfectly unproblematic. There's some minor additional hassle when checking in (you have to go to a separate location to get the key, they take a deposit etc.) However, they were extremely friendly and service minded whenever I had a question. Would recommend.
