Excellent location - just few steps off the pearl beach. The villa was very clean and well designed. The kids enjoyed their evening in the pool. The host was very accommodating and their hospitality was much appreciated. The terrace room was creatively designed and it was very helpful in throwing a surprise party for my sister. The villa has excellent view and witnessing the sunrise was pure bliss. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and we are looking forward to stay again.

They reached out to offer a pickup and dropoff to the airport. They speak English very well. As far as I can tell, the hotel lies in a good neighborhood with a lot of roadside stalls and stores.

    Nice comfortable apartment with good facilities. Shower worked really well and the bed was superb. Because the apartment is at the back of the complex it was nice and quiet. Also a great view from the balcony. We stayed for one month and were very satisfied. The host was really nice and helpful and was quick to sort out anything we needed.

    Friendly little hostel on a quiet back street, but within easy walking distance of everything you need (supermarket, ATM, cafes) and the metro. Nice rooftop and communal areas. Western-style shower and toilet (if that matters to you).
