the location is central, near the bus station and beaches. the host was kind. i will return next year (i hope!).

the codes for the rooms felt easy to guess, so safety was a slight concern.

Dining

i noticed there was no kettle, but there were no tea bags to use anyway. it would be a nice touch to have some tea available, even a small selection .

the room was clean and had a shower. the shower's water pressure and temperature remained consistent. there was only one chair in the triple room, and no hooks for towels.
