Spirit of Soho

Ask anyone who knows a little bit about Málaga and they will tell you that Soho is the neighbourhood to stay in. Not only is it close to the old town and sandy beaches, but the local area has a creative spirit reflected in the number of galleries, restaurants and buzzy bars.

And it's where you'll find stylish homes such as this one. The apartment sits within a classical building and has a small balcony on which you can survey the streets below. Inside, the design is fresh and minimalist, with a pared-back colour scheme of blue and white used to striking effect. This approach continues in the super-sleek kitchen, although perhaps taken a little too far when it comes to the limited space and equipment.

All throughout the home, there are coastal artworks hanging on the walls and if this gives you the inspiration to head over to the seaside, both Playa de Huelin and Playa la Magala lie just twenty minutes away on foot. The city's marina is only five minutes' walk away too and makes for a lovely setting for a sunset stroll.

Home truths:
*There's a lift in the building to reach this apartment on the second floor
*Groups of people aged twenty-one or under are not permitted to visit
*Both of the beds can be split into twin singles if preferred
