The atmosphere is so good. In the beginning, I barely stand the humid and hot weather. I get used to it one day after living in here. Here is so quiet and I feel relax to stay in here.

I love the place and the vibe of the owner, very much helpful. I really liked also that we could get ourselves in the house and have the breakfast in our own time, which it was essential for us since we had a very early morning flight. Super recomend!

Clean and cutter free. Was centrally located and the private owners were more than lovely and accommodating. The fact they accommodate locals is a rarity and I thank them for it.

The place is extremely clean and very spacious. My room was cool and the bed was comfortable. The other guests were nice when they were around (most people seem to spend their time out and about or in their rooms).
