perfect stay near the airport

thoughtful hostessclean roomregular busesconfusing instructions
this guest house was a welcome sight after traveling the countryside. the hostess was thoughtful and the room was clean. we found a modern bathroom with ample space (it was fantastic!). buses into the city were easy to catch and very regular.
the owner provided confusing instructions for entry. why not put the room numbers in the entry instructions? the same code was used for multiple lock boxes and rooms (a bit of a problem).

really charmed by the place

good sizecomfortable appointmentsgas smell
The room was very good size, nice and neat. it had appointments i thought was well done. i was near the bus stop. That was very helpful. i easily catch the bus into town because of the stop right outside.
i found the gas smell from the bathrooms unpleasant. i wondered if that was because of improper venting. i kept the bathroom door shut tight.
