Attentive, helpful and very friendly host. Guesthouse is gorgeous and in a very convenient location that feels authentic; it’s far from mass tourism yet close to everything by Uber or cab (I’m a solo traveler and don’t drive); it might take a few more minutes to get an Uber as other reviewers said but it wasn’t a problem at all for me. Breakfast was plentiful and such a peaceful moment every morning, overlooking the beautiful garden (with little monkeys in the mango tree!).
