"Stayed here for 2 nights and would recommend the place. It is as described in the pictures and was very clean and tidy inside. The host was very responsive to my messages and catered for my late check-in without any issues (I arrived at 11pm). Contact through WhatsApp was efficient and check-out was very straight forward too. I stayed alone, but this would be suitable for 2 people, anymore and you might feel a bit cramped. The view from the balcony is great"
