Reviews
A new, lovely, and spacious place, located in a very local area, about 15 minutes from the center. Ideal if you like exploring, experiencing local life, and getting a good night's sleep. It has a shared kitchen and a very nice terrace for relaxing. I loved it.
A great place to relax, and it's a short walk (15-20 minutes) from the center. It's quiet and completely new. The kitchen has everything you need to cook, but obviously you have to bring your own lunch, dinner, and breakfast. However, sometimes previous guests leave behind rice, coffee, spices—basic things, really! What I would suggest is that if people leave their rice or pasta, they should keep an eye on it because we've seen worms inside the rice packages, and if you leave it in the cupboard, your rice could become contaminated. Just keep an eye on the packages, or throw them away, and you won't have that problem!
It's an amazing hotel, very nice, clean, and the hosts are very friendly; you can tell they've put a lot of love into it. My only objective criticism is that I recommend offering the option to pay by credit card and not just cash.
Excellent accommodation. The rooms were spacious and the common area very pleasant. It was also clean and very comfortable. Furthermore, the owner was very friendly and helped us in every way possible.
