    I slept like a baby. Bed is really comfortable. The place is clean and relaxing. The host is really friendly and helpful. I stayed just one night, but I suggest to spend more days here. I'll be back!

    If I could give an 11/10 I would. The owner made everything so smooth, and assisted me wherever I needed help! Due to the bad weather I spent a decent amount in the guesthouse, and it was perfect. Great beds, beautiful designed and good coffee!
