I needed to break a ten hour drive between Malaga and Barcelona so somewhere to sleep and shower was my only real criteria. I hoped to get some exercise by walking into town to eat and have a beer.
I was amazed at the low price of Elina’s room and did not expect much but with so many happy visitors I booked.
Parking initially looked like it could be an issue as I had a hire car and did not want it damaged in the narrow streets but if you have a car drive past the venue for about 200 yards and turn left where you will find ample sized free parking bays.
The room is on the top floor (I think 5th) and being fit is helpful especially with heavy luggage but fortunately mine was not a suitcase.
Elina is charming, Russian and an interpreter so English, French, Spanish and of course Russian are no problem for her. Her home is very clean, the room with lock, is basic but comfortable and food preparation is no problem if you wish.
I walked into the city, it was for me about 20 minutes but allow 30 or get the bus or local metro. What I managed to see of the city it seemed very interesting.
I walked back in daylight I just feel more confident when in an unknown city to be ultra carful of alien environments so less confident women might be intimidated especially if not a group.
For the money it is unbeatable.
Thanks Elina.
