Maria's house is a really good place to stay in Málaga. It's near old town main areas and we went to every single place walking, despite of my 74 years old grandma being with us. Maria was very lovely and easy to get in touch by phone. She also gave us wine, sugar, coffee, oil, shampoo, maps and things that made our life in Málaga easier. The house was clean and neat. It also looks better there then on the pictures. We cooked there and had dinner on the terrace, which was an amazing experience. If I go to Málaga again, I would definitely stay at Maria's place.
The only situation in which I would not recommend Maria's house is to a disabled person: it has tiny stairs.
