Central Location, Great Host
prime location easy access short walk
The location was excellent, near the ferry. I got from ferry to my room easily. Restaurants and shops were nearby, a short walk away. We also rented ebikes close to the guesthouse for island exploration.
The room I stayed in was quite small, I barely had space to place my suitcase. There were no adequate arrangements for luggage.
