Comfortable stay

Do not hesitate to rent the studio. First time I slept on a fold out couch bed with memory foam mattress. A comfortable sleep and the outdoor bathroom was wonderful!

The sofa beds were surprisingly comfortable with the memory foam mattresses. The cooling system was efficient and quiet, and the room was clean. The bathroom/shower are adjacent to the room in a private outdoor stall and were fine. Ensure you have the fans on out there to prevent mosquito bites. This bathroom/shower would be uncomfortable during cold days. The location and hosts are both oustanding.
