I enjoyed my stay of four nights here. The hostess was warm and helpful. The room size was good, it had a clean and modern bathroom with shower (a detail I always appreciate). The location is very central, close to everything.

The supply of complimentary tea and coffee was limited to the first night only.

The owner seemed overwhelmed and it showed. it wasn't a cute experience at all. She looked very frustrated with her work. honestly, she could use some help in the kitchen. i think the overwhelmed owner, unpleasant experience best describes my sentiment.

mixed feelings on this one, tbh

stressed hoststreet noise

so, first off, the host, well, she seemed pretty stressed. it wasn't exactly a warm welcome, more like i was interrupting her day. then there's the noise. i was in a room facing the street, and even with the window shut, it was still pretty loud. plus, the mosquitos were having a party inside, thanks to me airing out the room in the morning. not ideal, not ideal at all.
