Garden was very beautiful. Has a hedgehog and some turtles to look at which was very cool. Bed was very comfortable. The staff were super welcoming and the other guests were respectful. Parking is great if you have a vehicle, just make sure you make a reservation for a space. We felt safe and happy here even though the house a bit outdated in some parts. The location was amazing. Short walk to La Sabana and lots of local restaurants. Central market is about a 45min walk too!

I was very surprised! It's a large, neat colonial house (bungalow style). All rooms are private with bathroom and arranged around a very lush courtyard. It's spacious and well-kept, fully a equipped kitchen and a Peri grocery store at the corner. Lots of couches and books to read. The host doesn't live on site but is super friendly and responsive. There's a bus stop at the corner with plenty of busses bringing you to the center. Overall, it's the comfort of a hotel with the convenience of a hostel.
