The apartment blew my mind! It was so clean. It was also well equipped. They have everything from a microwave oven to a blender and a working fridge. The kitchen was so organized. The living room was also chic. What I saw was beyond my expectations. I had to stay an extra day. It was just like a home from home. The host is incredible. He responds promptly to every situation. I love everything about the place. I already stayed in a couple of apartments before coming here. But seeing this one made me regret not spending the whole time with them. It's a great place. I recommend to everyone. It's great value for your money.

    Good location, staff was very friendly. They sended taxis to pick us up at the airport, this was well organized and even though our flight was late, they waited for us. We had to pay the taxis ourselves though. Be sure to ask for an invoice in advance! In the guesthouse, we received a written paper and an invoice after our trip via mail if you ask. The guesthouse was very clean, the food was good. We arrived with a group of 10 persons, they prepared us a meal late in the evening and breakfast in the morning.
