Fabian and his wife are great hosts. The place is a guesthouse inside a condo which makes a safer and extremely quiet place. Very clean, comfortable and he breakfast was great. So do the two cats... I did not use public transport because Uber was very affordable but it is close to a main street with buses to the city center. Besides, though it is not in the city center, it is just 10 minutes by Uber. I strongly recommend.

The atmosphere of the accommodation. Beautiful tropical property. This is an excellent place for those who are independent travelers, not so much for those needing to be pampered. I thought it was a great place to stay. Stayed 15 nights.

It was just as described, in a safe location and very clean. We arrived there with a lot of luggage and Marc at the front desk was so nice to help us carry our luggage to our private room on the first floor. We left early the next day but we wished we could of stayed longer. Definitely recommend this place!
