Host and hospitality:
Jose Maria was the epitome of a perfect host- he guided us via text (in English) to his house, carried our suitcases up the stairs for us, did a quick 15-min tour of the good eateries in the vicinity of his house (all his recommendations were fantastic!).
When he realised that another guest (Juan Carlos and Alba) were able to speak English, he insisted on driving us around the city to show us the sights with Juan Carlos acting as a translator!
Most importantly, we were intending to travel to Cadiz and the bus agency messed up our tickets- Jose Maria was indispensable. He called the company and even drove us down to speak with the counter staff.
Accommodation:
We were given the top floor which was right next to the pool. We even had our own loo. There was a washing machine for use as well. The room offers air conditioning / the choice of leaving the windows open for fresh air.
Jose also lets out the other rooms for rent and we had the opportunity to meet with other travellers (Juan Carlos and Alba!) in fact, they ended up showing us around Barcelona which was our next stop ;)
The location is not smack dab city centre but it is walking distance from several sights and the many eateries near his place were seriously super delicious (and not pricey at all)
tldr:
Jose Maria is fantastic and I would definitely recommend him again. Thank you Jose Maria :)!
