excellent stay
perfect locationquick answercomfortable accommodation
the guesthouse has a perfect location for walking to the beach and the town. check-in WAS effortless and the owner answered his mobile quickly. the accommodation felt comfortable even though the room was a midsize double. i would stay AGAIN.
the room was smaller than expected, and the bathroom felt very small. i was surprised the room does not get cleaned at all, and no fresh towels were offered.
Dining

the croissants were a NICE touch and tasted fresh. mineral water and beer are available in the fridge, very convenient. the host really provides a great breakfast selection too.

The host provided beers in the fridge. He also offered G and Ts one evening. He gave advice on restaurants. I received croissants for my journey home (a nice touch!).
The room was hot upon arrival because no one pulled the curtains. I had to sleep on top of the bedclothes because the bed had a winter quilt. The location was further from the center than I thought.

Decent Stay with Some Issues
quiet locationcomfortable bedtea stockmilk stock
The location is quiet. It is still quite close to the centre. The room was modern. The bed was comfortable.
The room was not made up. Stocks of tea and milk were not replenished. I never met anyone at the place. I also had no contact other than text on arrival details.
