Very good experience. The woman was super sweet and warm and provide us with extra blankets and electrical heating when asked. Calm neighbourhood and easy to walk from there to the centre. I would recommend it, especially in warmer months.

It was a perfect stay. We got a spacious room with everything we needed. The lady who helped us with the check-in was very kind and helpful. I loved her little pup as well^_^ The location is central, yet the rooms are peaceful. We had air conditioning but if you open all the windows and balconies in the evening, that'd also help with the heat waves. It had a shared kitchen which was useful if you want to spend one meal with some easily made food. The shared terrace had a nice view. Interesting to learn that it was a missionaries' house though. We were quite surprised to come across a real-life size pope statue in the guesthouse.
