We stayed in Room 2, on the ground floor and had a private bathroom. The rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. Very convenient location to restaurants and shopping. Despite being on the ground floor next to the road, it was fairly quite at night.

What a guesthouse stay should be.

For a guesthouse/shared kitchen this was perfect stay. Everything was simple with check in, owners were present and friendly, kitchen was well stocked with plates utensils. Bathrooms were clean and were 2 per floor.

We stayed in the family room with the priate bathroom. Its on the first floor and was a lovely room with a modern bathroom. Its right next to the kitchen, but its alsp on the ground floor so you may hear some noise from the upstairs guests. This guesthouse is right next to Gott, which is a FABULOUS restaurant at which we dined for both lunch and dinner. It's within a few blocks of a pharmacy and one of the hiking trailheads.
