The accommodations were nicer than we imagined even though the air conditioning in the master bedroom was not working well. The location far exceeded our expectations and our stay of 4 nights could of been 2 weeks to take it all in.

The accommodation/building was older but nice and clean. Besides the ants in the kitchen coming out of the stove top. The beds were comfy and the bathrooms were clean. The view from the balcony was beautiful, you could sit out there all day!
