Loveliest guest house run by a very sweet family. Great facilities & excelent service. Good quality bed, nice decorated room, all you need in a kitchen, free nespresso, smart tv, warm clean bathroom, with luxury (L’occitane) bathroom supplies. Everything was organized and very clean. You feel special noticing how the owners have so much attention to detail. They even offer guests free smoothies. The location is super central, close to a tourist bus stop, but in a calm street. Ah, and there’s such a nice lounge and rooftop! I highly recommend this place :-)

    The guesthouse is very strategically close both to the city centre and the bus terminal (from which the buses to the airport depart directly, with no need to book for the drop off/ pick up service), but at the same is in a quiet and very green residential area. The room is small (but it was clear from the pictures posted, so no surprises there) but very clean and comfortable. Thorey was a great host and ready to help when I called her before arriving, and left very specific instructions for us regarding our stay. Lovely dog too!
