“This guesthouse, nestled on a quiet street near Georgetown's attractions, immediately impresses with its beautiful, old-style architecture and internal courtyards teeming with lush greenery. The rooms are clean, well-furnished in keeping with the building's aesthetic, and feature air conditioning alongside ceiling fans, while the staff are consistently helpful and accommodating, even for late check-ins. In my opinion, it stands out as a particularly good value for its superb location and unique charm.”
