I had high expectations after reading the other reviews here - and my expectations were met and surpassed!
Juan was amazing as a host and his place is exactly as described - very clean and orderly with access to the swimming pool. He was very cordial and hospitable, making sure we were comfortable and our needs met. His communication is great - from providing directions to the apartment, to tips of what to do/see and where to go in Málaga. The apartment is not walking distance from the downtown, but there are good connections via metro and bus. If you have a car, even better, it's only 15 minutes away.
We had nice discussions about travel, culture, work and more which I enjoyed... (but don't worry, he will completely give you space if that is what you want). Juan truly embodies the spirit of AirBnb in my opinion.
Thanks for the great time Juan! Hasta la proxima vez ;)
