The apartment is exactly what you'd expect it to be on the basis of the ad. Spacious, light, well-equipped, clean(!) and beautifully designed. It is great for a short or longer stay; there is everything you need in this new apartment to make you feel at home no time. And though not on the same floor, the private roof terrace is amazing for having breakfast, luncheon or just some relaxing in the sun. Moreover, Gian Mario is a very friendly host. He welcomed us and responded promptly to our questions, and didn't mind us checking out late. (Great!)
The apartment is also very well-situated as you are only minutes away from the old city centre (and the amazing Mercato), supermarkets, the harbour with the boulevard and the beach. What is more, the Soho area is, perhaps, in itself one of the most interesting areas of Malaga with its up-and-coming atmosphere and great food and street art.
But there is one important downside to the apartment: the nights can be very noisy and as the windows are not double glazing much of the noise will reach the bedroom. For us sleeping proved to be somewhat of a problem (even with the use of earplugs). So be sure to bring some proper earplugs, especially if you're a "light sleeper".
So staying in the apartment is in many ways a treat. But in
the end our valuation of the property is relatively sober and mainly determined by the fact that we stayed in the apartment for 9 nights and the lack of sleep resulting from the noise on the streets.
