This is an absolutely lovely spot, and I highly recommend a visit! The guesthouse is open, shady, breezy and relaxing, with hammocks and a garden all around. Each of the rooms has a different vibe, all of which are pleasant (although I absolutely loved the view from the top one!), and the house and grounds are very colorful.

I strongly recommend her as an outstanding workawayer.
