From the moment I arrived I felt very welcomed. Sara and her Husband were extremely nice and made me feel like I was staying in a home and not a hotel. Its funny, I feel like I am staying at my Auntie's house haha. If you want somewhere a bit out of the main tourist area and get a more local feel for a very reasonable price then this is the place!
