I’ve been toying with the thought of spending a month or three in Madagascar next year, but the capital doesn’t seem excessively appealing. Any recommendations for nice places to stay? (Ideally reasonably large – large enough to be represented on AirBnB, at least --, but pleasant.)
(If anyone else is planning to head that way sometime after February 2017, get in touch too! 
)
I’m just back from there but only spent two weeks. Antsirabe was the closest thing to a functional town that we’ve been to, in addition to Tana, which didn’t seem too bad actually except for being unsafe at night.
An amazing hotel we stayed at that I wholeheartedly recommend is Citizen (in Tana).

Hi, I would recommend to not spend too much time in Port Louis if you are in Mauritius. It is a less interesting place in Mauritius to stay or spend time. I would recommend either the North or the west coast of the Island. Trou aux Biches or Flic en Flac are two really good options. You will be at most 5 mins walk away from a postal card beach while still having very good working conditions (good wifi). What I love about Mauritius is the variety of things to do, even though it is quite a small
