★★★★★

An exceptional stay overall, and we absolutely loved this place and the people. We found the host and staff to be very kind and helpful, and the location was ideal for exploring the city. The bathrooms and showers were very clean and pleasant, and the WhatsApp group was also a great touch for getting information on what to do and meeting other guests. 12/10!!
