Absolutely lovely staff, beautiful building, and safe location! Highly highly recommend staying here, it was such a wonderful experience. My partner and I stayed for just about a week and had the best time ever. Can’t rave enough about how helpful and lovely the staff were. Would recommend this to our friends.

We fell in love with the staff and the beautiful spaces. We booked direct and paid in dollars, helped by the ease of communications with the four delightful young women who promptly answered our emails (translated back and forth in English). The location was perfect cannot say enough about our experience!
