Forget about 5 or 4 stars hotels. In Málaga the best place is this apartment. The location is soperb, the apartment excellent and Marta the best hostess that you can have. First class stay.
Major attractions are in walking distances, the cathedral a few steps, the museums all close by and good restaurants downstairs. I do not only recommend this apartment by I urge to stay there when you visit Málaga.
Last comment. If you have some spare time, you can read some excellent books available in the shelves.
