We spent a couple of days in Malaga and found it to be a nice city. The hosts are loving next door and are friendly, communication in English was fine. The apartment is parterre so it is quiet and cool (you don't really need the ac too much), unfortunately during our stay we found a new cockroach in the kitchen or bathroom on every day of our stay. They were probably poisoned because they lied on their back sooner or later and could barely move anymore. I guess this is a common problem in ground floor flats as there were many roaches on the streets of Malaga as well. Also keep in mind the city center is a good 15 minute walk from the apartment. We still found it okay for a couple of days.
