The staff of Riad Nerja is simply wonderful. Warm, friendly, unobtrusive, helpful. Great food, nice advice... really first-class. The room (Sultane Suite) was not as great as the pictures led us believe however. And, the air conditioning barely worked (temps outside were in the 110's) Also a tough, mildewy smell. The toughest thing was that the Riad was a 15 minute walk away from the heart of the medina (the Place Djerma, the souks, etc.) We had no problem with directions, but were harassed every single time we went from the Riad to the main part of the medina. Really annoying.
