Nice Place - Great Value
We booked this place based on value and thinking it would be 'fine', but it was much better than just 'fine', as this guesthouse has a large kitchen/living/dining space and a large bedroom (about 600 sq. ft total).. Also, the place is well equipped with a large TV with various streaming choices, and a gas fireplace. The hosts are great too.
