The Hostel has cozy dorm beds and a chilled out vibe - great to meet other travelers. The staff and the volunteers were lovely and nice and really made you feel like home. The breakfast was very yummy and cooked with a lot of love ;) The location was near the bus going to Medeo and near a big supermarket
