With a shared bathroom equipped with a bidet and slippers, units at the guest house also offer free WiFi. At the guest house, all units come with bed linen and towels.

A bicycle rental service is available at the guest house. It is rare to receive such a warm, hospitable welcome. The hosts received us with activities suggestions, maps of local sights and eateries and were open to accommodating our extra needs. The location was really convenient on a quiet street just a few minutes walk from the main area. Cozy hip coffeeshops are right on the corner as well as places preferred by Georgetown locals. Key destinations such as Armenian street or famous jetis are also very conveniently close. The shared spaces and rooms are beautifully designed with a minimalistic approach. The room and facilities were particularly clean and we would surely stay here again!

The apartment was spacious and well-designed, with a dedicated area to place your shoes near the entrance and a comfy couch to relax on.
