We stayed a month at Valle's appartment. Valle was a fantastic host, she gave us space & privacy but was very helpful and there when we needed anything. Her appartment is in an ideal location close to bars, the beach, and language school where we studied during our stay. On site parking (and bike racks) was super handy and secure.
Valle's appartment is on the 6th floor, lifts were always working fine, or if you happen to be claustrophobic like me you could get super fit by doing the stairs! :)
As a couple we found the room at Valle's was a good size for a us, and balcony with sea-view is a massive bonus. Would recommend for short and long stays in Malaga.
