We had a great time in Jose Maria's apartment. Pedregalejo is a very nice neighbourhood: bars, restaurants and the beach are around the corner of the apartment and still it is located in a quiet street in a pedestrian area. Malaga centro is only 10-15 minutes away by Uber or a 25-30 mins, very pleasant ride by electrical scooter which you can rent on every corner of the street. We booked the apartment very last minute and even being outside of Spain Jose Maria responded quickly. The (clean!) apartment itself is small and basic, but everything you need is there, including a comfortable bed. Good value for money! We could even stay a little bit longer untill we had to catch our flight at night. We hope to meet Jose Maria in person when we come back (and eat in his restaurant)
