The host greeted us in person and showed us around the guesthouse and to our room. The room itself was very clean and the bed was comfortable. It's about a 15-20 minute walk into the city center, so very convenient. We parked at the nearby church for free, which was a 1-2 minute walk from the guesthouse, but there may have also been free street parking closer.

I have my own private bathroom right next to my room. Great night sleep 😴

clean, cozy, quaintly decorated, comfortable bed, great location, use of kitchen facilities was a plus. And the hosts were so friendly and helpful. I needed to do laundry and they allowed me to use their machines.

Good location, easy check in no matter the time. Very responsive to messages.

location is very good and the hosteler really kind .

The host was very friendly and helpful. We stored our luggage before check in which allowed us to enjoy the city before our room was ready. The host cleaned the room very well and it was better than expected for our stay.

nice clean room, great location, communal kitchen was well stocked

We got the bungalow in the garden with a private washroom, the room was fine and had everything we needed, we didn't use the shared facilities in the main house but they seem great, the location is the best, a walking distance from all attractions. (town center). right next to the "big church" so you can find your way easily (-: the parking is on the street and was free of charge.

Very convenient to downtown and many restaurants (most of which were packed full at 9pm.) The family room was small, clean and minimal but fine for our short overnight stay. It was quiet all night and we had a private bathroom even though a guesthouse.

We loved the space. Very cute guesthouse and a great location for exploring the city!
