Sisi from Australia (10/10)
Property next door to a CU convience store, cafe downstairs and bus stop at front door. Location is perfectly situated in a nice neighbourhood not too far from downtown. House was fully furnished with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Owner always checking on how we were and if we needed anything. One of the nights we stayed, there was a power cut on the street, and she came with a torch for us to use. Beds very comfortable.

The host is always quick to answer to questions and concerns. Very helpful to give directions. They even helped us locate and get back our camera that we dropped in a taxi. With that we are very very thankful to the hosts.
The place is also very convenient with a CU store right in the corner where you can buy daily needs, a delicious bakeshop across for breads and the bus to go around, stops right outside the gate. It is that convenient!! 🙂Maëva from France (10/10)
