the location is amazing, right in the heart of everything. the room i had, a double room, was very clean. the owner was super helpful, giving great tips about local spots. i got loads of useful information for exploring.
The room was really small. I almost felt a bit cramped. the noise from other rooms was noticeable. the bed wasn't the most comfortable. It could use an upgrade. i could hear every movement.
