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

The downside is rent is on the pricey side than say what you would expect to pay in most places in SEA. You can find some low rental places but then you'd be putting yourself in an environment that's not particularly safe. I'd pick a neighbourhood like Kabulonga, Woodlands, Chilenje, Ibex Hill or Makeni. Getting around is easier if you have a car or find a reliable cabby.

Fast forward, 3 years later, I went by myself to KL for a 3 days stay on a visa run from Chiang Mai. I stayed in a hotel near Bukit Bintang. I actually really didn't like it - I think because I was by myself, in a fairly wild part of the city and got so us
