This hidden gem should be on your list of places to stay. Spotlessly clean, endlessly cool vibes and wonderful hosts—so glad I found it. 5 Stars from me. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The kitchen was great and it worked well for our family of five, but we were disappointed to be hit with a late check‑in fee.

I never even got to check in because the staff was unhelpful and ignored us after telling us not to arrive after the official check‑in time. They also failed to secure our keys for late retrieval, which is unusual. Avoid this place if you’re arriving late.

The kitchen was very nice, clean, and inviting for cooking. The beds were too soft.
