Jose is a very nice guy, very simple with an adorable cat. The location is perfect in-between the station and the beach. And 5 mins walk take you to the main touristic area full of restaurants and shopping malls. Jose offered me ice tea as soon as I got there the first day as it was very hot. I admire his hospitality and his good advice. Since I was not Spanish, he really tried hard to explain me everything! It was very humbling :) I would recommend to stay at his place if you are visiting Malaga!
