Central Stay with Fantastic Service!

convenient location easy walk responsive host

The location proved convenient. I found it easy to walk to all the main attractions. I was also close to the bus terminal, perfect for island exploration. The host was very responsive, quickly answering any questions I had. I appreciated the room. It included all necessary kitchen appliances.

My room faced challenges with insufficient natural light. The older air conditioning unit needed an update. It occasionally turned off by itself.
