Everything is good.
Everything is good. Warm welcome from Eric, nice breakfast with various choices, even homemade jam. The room is so clean and spotless. Excellent arrangement from the host even with our short notice of breakfast time due to the local tour. So quiet neighbourhood and we had nice sleep. Walk to city centre takes about 30 minutes.

1st class accomodation
Very comfortable bed ( I'm not used to sleeping in a single but this one was very comfortable.) Air conditioning was handy as it was quiet close overnight a couple of times. Breakfast is a treat

Great place. It is walking distance to shops and the harbour. Eric cooked super breakfasts that were tasty and filling. The hosts are eager to accommodate guests. The guest rooms are quiet with good amenities. I highly recommend it
