I stayed for 5 weeks - I was taking Spanish classes in Málaga. The apartment is excellent with all facilities you would need. My only gripe was hill you have to climb from main street in Pedregalejo. There is a bus stop very near the apartment for 34 bus which takes you into centre of Málaga in 15 mins. During week there is a bus approx every 30 mins but at weekends it is every hour. If you shop in Pedregalejo and have much to carry then I advise waiting on 34 - it will drop you near the apartment. There is also a taxi rank near the paseo maritimo- just up from 34 stop so if you miss bus its 5 euros.
There are many bars, cafes and restaurants in Pedregalejo and El Palo - all within walking distance plus supermarkets, chemists etc. Fernando has written a helpful guide to eating and drinking in the area and in Málaga. All in all very good value apart from hill!
