“This guesthouse strikes a practical balance between budget-friendly options and full-service hotels, especially appealing to solo travelers seeking a quiet, secure stay in a convenient location. The rooftop terrace with a kitchen provides a nice communal space, though improvements to bathroom functionality are needed. Its location near local bars means potential weekend noise, but overall, it's a solid choice if you value location and privacy.”
