At the guest house, every unit comes with a desk. Each unit is equipped with a safety deposit box and free WiFi, while some rooms are equipped with a patio. At the guest house, some units are soundproof. I was very surprised! It's a large, neat colonial house (bungalow style). All rooms are private with bathroom and arranged around a very lush courtyard. It's spacious and well-kept, fully a equipped kitchen and a Peri grocery store at the corner. Lots of couches and books to read. The host doesn't live on site but is super friendly and responsive. There's a bus stop at the corner with plenty of busses bringing you to the center. Overall, it's the comfort of a hotel with the convenience of a hostel.
