"Beautiful guesthouse, close to everything"

8.0

A beautifully decorated guesthouse, with a whale and nautical theme that works for me. I turned up, and there was a key. I had a good sleep, and left for work. It was so nice though, I would have liked to spend more time there.

Thank you so much to the host for upgrading my room! The kitchen was fully equipped, the dining room was cozy, and there were helpful tips everywhere, showing how much care the host put into the place. They gave me many helpful suggestions during my stay, and I'm very grateful. I'll definitely come back again.

The water pressure in the bathroom is a bit low.

Un endroit magnifique, coconing et très bien décoré. Le lit était très condortable. Nous aurions bien aimé rester plus longtemps. A proximité immédiate des commerces et restaurants et a qlq minutes a pieds seulement de la mer. Hebergement aussi sympathique que la ville que nous avons bcp appréciée. Tout était charmant, nous reviendrions sans la moindre hesitation.
