The owners were very friendly and they also offer laundry services for 600 per kilo and sell water bottles (same price as grocery stores) which is very convenient.
Thank you very much 🙏🏼
Really friendly family, it felt like staying at home! I would come back.
The river view is insane and I love that it’s close to everything but super quiet at night
