The property was spacious and in a perfect location, right in the heart of the city centre. It was also super clean and had a dining table, kitchen and large bathroom so was the perfect size for our group of 3. The hosts were also very helpful and were quick to reply. They also allowed us to drop our luggage off several hours before check in which we really appreciated.

    The guesthouse is very strategically close both to the city centre and the bus terminal (from which the buses to the airport depart directly, with no need to book for the drop off/ pick up service), but at the same is in a quiet and very green residential area. The room is small (but it was clear from the pictures posted, so no surprises there) but very clean and comfortable. Thorey was a great host and ready to help when I called her before arriving, and left very specific instructions for us regarding our stay. Lovely dog too!
