the location is totally great! it's a short walk to the local mini market and the beach, how cool is that. the building has about 8 rooms and a shared kitchen which is so awesome plus a patio garden and lounge area. it felt really budget-friendly, exactly what i wanted for a couple of nights near the beach, awesome!

i noticed a lack of storage space though just shelves. i had to live out of my suitcase. the sink bowl unit in the room seemed a bit basic! the shower performance wasn't awesome either.
