Jose's apartment is in a very nice area, about 10-15 minutes from the city center (by foot). In the appartment you have all the basics you need during your stay. Jose is a perfect host! We arrived late and he kindly picked us up at the airport. He's a very nice and welcoming person and even though we only stayed for a day and a half, he made sure we had everything we needed. In the fridge waited some water, juice, bier, marmelade and butter :-)
Jose knows Malaga very well and he prepared a map with "things to do in Malaga" and told us some stories about the city during our way from the airport to the appartment.
I would definitely recommend staying at Jose's apartement!
