José is a truly wonderful host. Check-in was very flexible and communication was easy. Replies were always quick and everything was clear. When I arrived, José was very welcoming and showed me around the house, gave me a bottle of water and provided some background to the artistic work around the house.
The house is really one-of-a-kind, which is exactly why I had booked it (preferring the fun experience over a more boring, hotel-like stay).
When I was staying in the (awesome!) apartment, it was the Monday and Tuesday of Semana Santa (Holy Week) in Málaga and José took the time to explain a lot about the cultural/religious traditions to me, from "el trono" to "los portadores". My Spanish is véry beginner-level, so he had to exercise a lot of patience. :) Thankfully, he spoke Spanish slowly and clearly so that I could understand what he was saying - something not everyone can do or wants to do in Spain.
I definitely recommend a stay at José's - it's a truly special experience!
