what a pleasure to stay at Jose's beautiful apartment during my 4 days in Malaga! He is such a warm, friendly, kind, and thoughtful person - one of my favorite people that I have met during my travels. The apartment is ideally located in the up-and-coming Soho area, which is vibrant and full of street art. This neighborhood is adjacent to the old town center and also next to the port of Malaga harbor and promenade. A few blocks away you will find a great little bike shop where you can rent bikes for the day or take a bike tour, and you will also want to check out Street Art Malaga, which runs a fantastic tour of urban art through Soho.
The room itself has an en suite bathroom and is very self-contained, so I didn't use the rest of the apartment much. No cooking is permitted in the kitchen, so you either need to eat at restaurants or eat canned or prepared foods. There is space in the refrigerator and pantry to keep your food. The kitchen also has a washing machine and you can wash and dry your cloths for 10 euros.
Jose was very helpful with suggestions for what to see and what to eat and drink, and provided lots of resources: maps, brochures, business cards. He also added thoughtful touches to the bedroom and bathroom, like a portable heater, umbrella, beach towel, a hand mirror. And the bed and pillows were so comfortable. A great place to stay while in Malaga, and a great value!
