Clean structure, just outside the center and close to the stops to reach it. Peaceful and quiet neighborhood. Very kind and available for anything, I highly recommend!

The property was well maintained, comfortable, and very cozy!

I liked everything about the property except to cover on the bed. It was very difficult to use it in a way that the temperature of the room worked with the bed cover.

All!! An incredible place, it is a super nice, comfortable and very clean guest house.

Nothing, the only thing is that the location is a little far from the center (about half an hour by bus) but it has many bus stops very close.

Booked for work trip and had limited expectations, but the room was immaculate, everything one needed and more and a stunning view on to a hill. It's moderately far out of town but a quick bus ride, right in front of the door. No breakfast, but a shop directly opposite and lovely cafes in town. I would highly recommend this
