The owners couldn’t be more friendly and welcoming. We were the last to check in that day (a good sign, at 4pm!) so got an upgraded room/apartment, although we didn’t really need it as we were just staying for 1 night. Excellent suggestions for supper (which we walked to, 20 mins) & breakfast in the room brochure. A really quiet & safe neighborhood. We would stay again as it fitted the bill perfectly after a 30 hour flight.
