Really good Stay, Clean, Convenient, and Hosted by a Gem!

spacious room easy check-in clear communication convenient location
The room was large, surprisingly spacious actually! Check-in was smooth, and Alia communicated everything I needed to know beforehand! The proximity to the bus stop made getting around super easy! Netflix in the room was a major plus for winding down after a busy day of sightseeing.
The water pressure in the shower was just a little lower than I prefer, but honestly, it was a minor thing!

The location proved convenient with regular buses to the city center.
The room was very small. It was difficult for two people to move around comfortably. The shower had low pressure, a problem for basic hygiene. The mattress reminded me of low quality too.

amazing hostess and super clean room!

amazing hostess ample space
Alia, the hostess, was amazing and helpful. the location was fantastic. It was a quiet area with convenient on-street parking. the room was great with its ample space, supreme comfort, and undeniable charm.
I found the room quite small, made movement a bit challenging. the tiny sink positioned over the toilet made brushing teeth awkward. also, the shower had low water pressure. The cubicle size made washing difficult.
