First off, Jose is the best host I've ever had the pleasure to work with. My daughter got really sick at the beginning of our trip with a high fever. Jose came over right away, took us to the nearest urgent clinic, and acted as my translator the entire time even though he barely spoke English. My daughter was able to get antibiotics right away and that likely saved the entire trip.
For a family with little kids, Jose's place was perfect. We spent most of the time at the beach. It literally was walking downstairs and across the street. There are food places close by and a grocery store where we picked up staples. Things were pretty easy and relaxing.
At night Jose had a bike so I rode that all over the city. Everything is walkable but there are taxis nearby if you need it.
Everywhere is safe, we were worried about pickpockets and such but those worries were unfounded.
The beds were comfortable. My wife and I commented that beds at the other AirBNB we stayed out were terrible compared to Jose's. AC in each room kept us cool. Lots of towels and linens.
If we came back to Malaga, we would stay here every time. Jose made us feel like we had someone watching out over us the entire time we were there.
Mucho Gracias Jose!
