Heart and Soul Apartment Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to Heart and Soul Apartment on Avenida J.M. Galván Bello, you immediately get the sense this isn’t your typical tourist accommodation. The building has this understated elegance that feels more like a well-kept residential complex than a hotel — which, honestly, is exactly what makes it work so well. I mean, when you’re staying in San Miguel de Abona, you want something that feels authentic rather than touristy, and this four-star property nails that balance perfectly.
The Space Itself
The apartment setup here is what really sets it apart from standard hotel rooms. You’re not cramped into a tiny space with just a bed and a desk — you actually get a proper living area that feels like, well, home. The kitchen is fully equipped, which saved me a fortune on dining out (though there are plenty of great local spots if you want to explore). What struck me most was how thoughtfully everything was arranged — you can tell someone put real care into making sure guests have everything they need for a comfortable stay.
Location Advantages
San Miguel de Abona might not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of Tenerife, but that’s actually its biggest advantage. You’re close enough to the southern beaches and tourist areas when you want them, but far enough away to experience the real Canary Islands. The locals here are genuinely friendly — not the kind of tourist-weary politeness you get in busier areas. Plus, parking is never an issue, which anyone who’s driven around the southern resorts will appreciate.
Daily Life Here
Mornings at Heart and Soul feel surprisingly peaceful — you wake up to actual birdsong rather than construction noise or tour buses. The neighborhood has this quiet residential vibe where you’ll see locals heading to work and kids walking to school. There’s a small supermarket just down the street that stocks everything you need, and the staff there started recognizing me after just a couple of days. It’s these little touches that make you feel less like a tourist and more like a temporary resident.
Why Guests Love It
That 9.2 rating isn’t just numbers — you can feel it in how well everything works. The WiFi actually functions properly (crucial for anyone trying to stay connected), the air conditioning keeps things comfortable during those warm Tenerife afternoons, and honestly, the whole place just feels well-maintained. Couples seem to particularly appreciate the setup here, and I can see why — there’s something romantic about having your own little space in this quiet corner of the island. You get the independence of self-catering with the reliability of professional hospitality, which is honestly the best of both worlds when you’re exploring somewhere new.

Rachel from Jersey (10/10)
This was a great apartment to stay in for a couple of days before our flight! The host was great at communicating, the apartment was lovely and spacious and the terrace upstairs had the sun all afternoon which was such a bonus. The kitchen was stocked for breakfast/lunch so we didn't need to go out and eat too often. Wish we could have stayed longer!!
Christopher from United Kingdom (10/10)
Super location, 15 minute drive from the airport. Nice and roomy, with 2 balconies and 2 dining areas. Beds and sofas were really comfortable, 2 large bedrooms with large beds – we had just come back from hiking in the mountains so this was especially nice for a good night's sleep.
Well equipped kitchen and bathroom (fully stocked fridge, well equipped with utilities, shower gel, shampoo, toothpaste).
Shops and restaurants within 2 minute walk.
Very clean throughout & nicely decorated too.
Host was very friendly and helpful. Many thanks and hope to be back next year!Esther from Netherlands (9/10)
