    Reserved the room and get confirmation on mail. When we arrived outside the building in the night tired and sleepy we can't find the host there. When calling we get the information about some renovation at the apartment, and we can't stay there. Not serious business in my opinion, stay away.

    Very easily accessible by both public transportation and private means. Great hosts who made us feel very welcome and went out of their way to ensure our comfort. Very responsive in a timely manner to any issues raised. Great staff, Janet makes great meals and is very professional in her work. The mangoes in season on the many trees in the compound were a delight too. It's in a quiet neighborhood, therefore one can sleep well at night. Suitable for solo travelers or a small family/group.
