    Amazing location, steps away from places to grab food and 4 minute walk to the beach so you can save on transportation costs. One of the cleanest guesthouses I've stayed in. The host was very cordial and I appreciated the ability to check in early...

    Vale and Andrew are amazing! The house is very welcoming and you'll feel home. There's everything you need. The area is plenty of restaurants and there's a supermarket too. I recommend booking the Excursions with them
