We thought Jose and his wife were very helpful and friendly. The apartment is very centrally-located for site seeing in Malaga.
We did find that the noise at night was extremely loud and had difficulty sleeping through it. Between the trash and recycling service and the party goers, we were often woken 5x per night. Because we have 2 very small children, this was a problem for us. If you are a sound sleeper or simply don't mind being woken, it is probably a better bet for you. The apartment itself was nice enough. It could've been a bit cleaner in the bathroom when we arrived though.
