I stayed at Jose's place almost 2 months, and it worked very well for me.
The biggest advantage is the location - it is in Malaga Centre Historico, with a few minutes walk to any destination within. Bars, restaurants everywhere, and there is lots going on on any given day and night, so the nights can be loud. But, as I know from my friends in Malaga, it is the same anywhere in Centre.
Jose's place is very simple and functional, and it provides a great value for money: two rooms are for rent, but only the large one is usually taken. The second small bedroom with double bed banks (you can see it on his listings), stays usually unoccupied. Only once in two months someone was in for one night.
There is a nice large bathroom for guests only. The kitchen is very basic and functional, and it has a cloth washer in it, which Jose kindly let be used.
I would definitely recommend this place, if you do want to stay in Centre Historico.
