Steve and Mubi were wonderful and extremely accommodating. The rooms were excellent and clean. The location was also perfect with everything within walking distance. The only request I would make would be for a safe in our room. Just for our passports. I cannot say enough how our stay was enhanced by how wonderful Steve and Mubi were. They made our stay memorable and excellent.

Mubi, who showed me around was delightful and every interaction with the owners was warm and supportive. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. I would have preferred a more accessible socket for charging my phone but it was still doable and no real inconvenience.
