“This home-like property struck me as a quiet retreat close to the city; the hosts seem genuinely invested in ensuring a comfortable stay, and I noted the well-kept rooms with options for air conditioning or fans, plus Wi-Fi. While parking can be a slight challenge with a larger vehicle, the central location makes it easy to explore the area. A solid choice, in my opinion, for those who value attentive service.”
