Have a friend whose Husband died earlier this year. Wanting to rent for a couple of months from Jan. She has been looking at google brought up mainly booking.com and the ones she showed me looked very expensive. Anyone know any private rental sites?

Which La Cala? La Cala del Moral? What sort of prices is she being quoted? Airbnb have a variety of places in and around Rincon from 1000€pm upwards, a lot are priced around 12-1300€ pm.

La Cala CDS near Fuengirola. She would like to be amongst a British community. Being alone a studio would be fine but asking around £1750 per month seems a bit high?

They're all trying it on now, I have recently had a similar experience looking for a friend of mine who wants to spend 2/3 months in Las Palmas at the beginning of 2023. He does have access to internet and he's computer savvy so is doing a lot of his own research but as I am very familiar with Las Palmas he asked me to look around. Posted a general enquiry with mil anuncios looking for s small flat for around 700 per month. I was inundated with online offers for booking.com, several smaller companies contacted me telling me in no uncertain terms that I was living in a dream world and there was no chance of getting anything for that price, well, bingo, one woman who phoned me up told me that she had somewhere available for the requested time scale. I sent her email and phone number to my mate and he has a deal for a 37 sq metre studio very close to the beach and in a good area, the cost 590 euros per month + electricity. My secret weapon is my old friend and best man at my wedding who also lives in Las Palmas so I sent him off to her office to check she was legit, it turns out that we both know her (a bit) and the deal is definitely kosher !

Most of the stuff on Booking .com is way overpriced and many of them stand empty for months, personally I would always persevere and try to get my own deal !

Hi Katy, i tried to pm you but I can't figure out a way to do it, anyway, I have been in touch (10 mins ago) with a Finnish friend of mine who stays in La Cala de Mijas from October to Jan every year and he has a very good relationship with a letting agent there, he will be sending me contact details within a couple of days so I will pass them on to you. La Cala is an excellent place if you want peace and quiet with easy access to Fuengirola, Benalmadena, Malaga and Marbella !

Thanks that would be great. Think she really needs a few moths break.
