NIGHTMARE STAY
Pros:

Location wasn't bad

Cons:

For starters, no AC so sweating horribly all trip and not allowed to use any facility (no room, no kitchen, no food allowed, etc...).
However, the main disaster was the nightmare of a landlady, who would consistently barge into the room without knocking and without consent. Everytime we left, even for a minute to the shop, we'd come back to the room being entered and things moved.
She also walked in on me sleeping naked in the room, during my work meeting where she purposely came in the camera and yelled at me until I lowered my voice (almost got me fired), every time we talked, she opened the toilet door on my room mate during his shower and yelled at him not to shower at night. On top of all the constant dirty looks she gave us everytime we exited the room.
The most creepy, unsafe and uncomfortable experience of my life.
She should not be allowed to run a rental unit on here.

- EDIT: Just got granted permission to reply to the landlord's response below as it is just lies trying to harm us. We do not smoke, did not even meet any other guest, were asleep at dawn (seriously...), and if working on my laptop in my room is an issue, oh wait, how did she even know what I was doing in the privacy of my room? (hint, constantly coming into our room)... She also met our friend who needed to find a place and asked for cash off the books for him, and now tried to turn it around on us...

Comfortable stay close to the beach
Pros:

Lovely host. Lots of thoughtful extras (extra toothbrush and razor in case guests have forgotten theirs). We were given a cold drink when we arrived because we were so hot! Lots of information about local attractions etc.

IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE ANY PIECE AND PRIVACY NEXT TO MARGARITA THE HOST
Pros:

The location was good

Cons:

We knew that the place was at the 7th floor without elevator. We knew that the host was going to stay at the same apartment with us. What we couldn't imagine, was the impossible rudness of Margarita, the hostess. We felt like we are in a horror movie. She told us her rules (we cannot use the kithcen, no bath after 23:00). But at night when we were back and we were speaking in a totally normal voice, she knocked the door and with a style that wouldd make a strict nanny blushing, she told us 'sssssssssss'. I am 45, the last time I had similar experience I was 5 years old. Next morning she was talking louder than us with the guests, while we were sleeping. While before she was walking in sandals around the house. Let's go to the texting. When she show to us the room, she opened the wardrobe (full of her personal stuff) and told us that we can use the blankets if it's cold. The night was cold and we used it. Next day, we came back to the room and the blanket was not there. Instead, there was a message 'DON'T TOUCH!'. At the fridge, a message 'dont smoke' (we didn't) and that he have to go until 12 the next day. In both days while we were showering, the water stopped. And 2 times we were in the toilet and Margarita closed the lights! We have even more things to say, but you get the point. I travel for years and I never saw something similar, even near to it. It's impossible to have piece, privacy and enjoy the time next to Margarita!!!
PS: We paid 20 euros for the cleaning and the bathroom was dusty

Very good
Pros:

Its very close to breakfast/dinner restaurants, grocery store and the beach, also pharmacy was right next to the building. Building has elevator, and beautiful mirror at the entrance for pictures!😍🫣 Margaritha is kind, she gave us beach towels and sunnyumbrella to use during our stay, also gave us all the toiletries we needed and sunscreens. She let us have ice in the freezer even tho we are not allowed in the kitchen. Bus stop is right with the building(on the other side) which is very nice , 3busses go in the city direction ! Must remember a face mask! Also taxi was around 10€ from city center to her apartment, and around 25€ from city center to airport!

Cons:

It was very very warm. There was only a fan at the celling which didnt cool u nor the room down, just blowed really weak “wind” on you. Also very loud location in early mornings and late nights when you are sleeping. Garbage on the street (right underneath the widow of the room) is being taken out and switched every night at 1-2am, and early in the morning around 7am restaurant is opening and they are very loud with setting up tables and chairs. So it was not the best sleep, also thinking that bed is ideal for one person, two are getting squished up, and its warm, and u have to leave window open for some air but constant noice from outside. When booking, it said that we will receive daily cleaning of the room, but all we got from her was trash being thrown.. But still its ok. Also some of the rules are that you cant bring any food, no showers allowed after 11pm.. (exception one time i saw that she was awake and i asked if i could take quick shower (11:30pm) and she allowed it)
Almost nobody speaks English!!! Very irritating. All the people working in restaurants, bars, at the beach… not even the host spoke much then 5words on English… so google translator and full battery are very much in need.

Málaga is sunny, beautiful, do not spoil your holiday by unpleasant landlords.
Pros:

Location is perfect, downstairs are great restaurants and breakfasts bistro, some of staff don't speak english but happy to help you via google translator.
5 mins walking distance to beach, beautiful sunrise and sunset. This place is located in the cheaper and much more quite part of Malaga. Around 20 minus distance to the center by bus Nr3, Nr8 and Nr11 (ticket €1,40 ). Taxi no more than 10 euro .To Malaga airport bus A1 (ticket around €4 ), Taxi from €25 to €40.

Cons:

The hostess put a kettle on the offer but did not let me enter the kitchen. There was also no hair dryer or iron. In house rules, she specified what food was acceptable to eat in the room.
She greeted me showing me the room and the bathroom, interrupted my question in half a sentence, then closed the door in my face and left. I was speechless. No comment.
