Very clean and comfortable guesthouse with a warm, family-run atmosphere. Breakfast was tasty, and Simon, the host, was super friendly and helpful. It’s located just outside the city center, but only an 8-minute bus ride away — quiet and convenient. Highly recommended!

Symon was an exceptional host, the breakfast each morning was fantastic it really set us up for the day. It was easy to get a bus into the center. If you want to walk it that is also doable takes about 30mins. Fabulous spot to go up to the Pub and have a nice meal. Location is perfect. The room and bed comfortable. Thsnks Symon for the great stay. It does have steps up to the room but not a problem for us.

Great Location

A great location. Bus access to down town is one block over. In a very nice neighborhood. The host was so helpful with suggestions/recommendations. Great eating places/pubs within a quick walk. Room/bathroom was spotless. Rooms are very quiet. Breakfast is amazing with excellent choices and cooked to order. Parking easily available on side street next to property.

Lovely guest home

We loved our stay!! The guest house is so charming and our room was beautiful. Bed was very comfortable and the room immaculately clean. Breakfast was delicious and we appreciated the cold water and snacks available outside of breakfast time. The guest house is in quick walking distance to the bus stops and Simon was very helpful with recommendations and helping us figure out how to navigate the town. My favorite part was the lovely garden in the back. I spend an wonderful few hours reading in the relaxing garden. Highly recommend this lovely guest house. Can’t wait to return some day!

This Guest House was excellent. Simon was helpful far beyond required. The room had nice and thoughtful touches including washcloths a first so far in 3 weeks of travel. Breakfasts were excellent and best coffee to date. 30 minutes walk from a frenetic Old City center. Bus stop right down the block if you choose not to walk. Very good value and well deserving of high oraise
