The accommodation would have been amazing if I hadn't been moved to another room 4 days into my stay. While this is not a problem, the new room was infested by bed bugs and the bed not properly cleaned.

It was amazing! I arrived before check-in time but could leave my suitcase there. When I returned in the afternoon, the owners had already brought my suitcase upstairs. The room and shared space are super comfortable, clean, with great facilities. The owners speak little English but we managed to communicate perfectly.

one of the best places i stayed at. The staff was so nice, even helped me with the different attractions and my suitcase. Very patient, helpful and nice. They had free tea, coffee, snacks etc. The location was so good, its lines with markets right downstairs which i didnt expect at all. Only regret is that i didnt stay there longer, but they were booked which i understand as the place was amazing. Totally recommend!! Very clean and lots of facilities
