"When I booked last minute I didn't realise the studio booked was a backpackers, but the price was amazing. When I arrived, I was a little worried but shouldn't have been. The property is great and you have so much personal space. The shared kitchen was fabulous, perfectly clean and equipped to suit a 100 person restaurant. I never saw another resident. I would easily return. The English receptionist was so friendly and helpful."

"The door handle needs to be pulled towards you when turning the key to open the door. When locking it the key needs to be turned anti clockwise before turning it clockwise in order to work. A bit of a faff; I had to ring the host to help gain access for the first time. Host arrived very quickly to assist. Bed is very firm and the pillows are not the best. Cutlery could do with replacing. Otherwise all good. "
