At Home in Malaga Stay & Solo Travellers

First and foremost this was a very nice place. I was alone and spent three nights before heading to Nerja to take Spanish lessons. Rincón is a very nice small town. It is about a 20 (ish) minute bus trip to Malaga. The bus takes cash (€1.7) ish. As a well travelled American I am very flexible accommodating to different cultures. So here are some thoughts to be prepared for American travelers: - The water is shut off at night ( approx 11 pm to 7:30 am) . This is, I believe, due to the severe drought. Coming from CA- not a problem. We know droughts. - Toilet paper DOES NOT go in the toilet- it’s a hard habit to break. Pipes are old. Paper clogs the drains- so get used to reaching around to the bin. Yep- even THAT paper. - Breakfast is minimal- this isn’t America people- bread, cheese, yoghurt, jam and some hard boiled eggs. - I didn’t have a car so I walked everywhere. Marcella will tell you a nifty shortcut to get to the bottom of the hill. All in all a nice place to stay. Very quiet- I wish the pool/jacuzzi had been heated - that’s my only negative- just too chilly for 70 degree weather.

Pro: - Very lovely, kind and helpful owner - Near to the beach - Quite place to relax - Clean bedroom and bathroom - Good bud connection to Málaga Contra: - The region has a lot of mosquitos during summer - Breakfast could offner a wider selection of food, but otherwise good

Perfect stay! Hosts were very kind and helpful, and also provided advice on travel to Malaga and local area! Property is very homely with many common areas and onsite amenities were great! Would highly recommend and hope to return in the future!

Excellent host and very well maintained property. Easy to get to Malaga by car or bus.

Marcela’s house is absolutely lovely! We stayed in room #1 which opened right to a beautiful covered patio furnished with sofa/chairs/table and direct access to the backyard. Though it was too cold for the pool to be swimmable, sitting on the lounge chairs in the sunshine was wonderfully relaxing. Marcela was very responsive by email when we were making our arrangements and so friendly and helpful while were there. She built a fire for us one night while we were hanging out in the living room and very kindly stored some food/wine for us as we had a non-consecutive 2 night stay. Parking on the street was very easy, though I suspect a bit more difficult in the warmer months. The provided breakfast included a nice variety of food to start our days. Marcela is a wonderful hostess and we heartily recommend At Home in Malaga Stay to anyone looking for the comforts of home!

Honestly the most kind hearted and caring hosts I’ve ever met, nothing was too much trouble, the house is beautiful and relaxing can’t say enough nice things about it.
