Positive: 10/10 hospitality! The hosts are exceptionally friendly and welcomed us with a delicious avocado shake. The room was perfect. spotless, comfortable bed (with mosquito net), and a great balcony. We especially loved the traditional breakfast, which was both delightful and filling. It’s rare to find a place this central that is also so quiet and peaceful. A perfect match for the description. thanks for a great stay!❤️🥰
