“Overall, a friendly and clean place with good amenities, but not ideal for light sleepers.”
We stayed in two of the three double rooms on the upper floor of the family home and overall it was a pleasant experience. The rooms were clean, had both AC and a fan, and the owner was very friendly and helpful. It’s about a 15‑minute walk to the beach, which worked fine for us. Room cleaning is available on request, which was convenient. Payment is cash only, so make sure you have enough on hand. The bathrooms could use some maintenance because the showers need repair. A few things to keep in mind—especially if you’re a light sleeper. The house is close to the railway and a mosque, so earplugs are definitely recommended. Also, the “bun truck” comes by before 7 a.m., and noises from the family living downstairs (like cooking or TV sounds) carry easily through the open access to the ground floor. In the front room, these early‑morning sounds were particularly noticeable, often before 6 a.m., so sleeping in wasn’t really an option.
