What a cosy charming place with lovely hosts. Thank you again Julia and Aaron for having me. Very good location, everything is close by beach, shops, bus station. I have helped for 6 weeks with the daily chores and with 3 other workers we have made a great team. If you like hostel life and you don't mind cleaning - I highly recommend this place.

She had a lot of knowledge so it was great to simply talk to her, hear her point of view, etc.
She will always be welcome back!!! We wish her safe travels
