“The guesthouse stands out for its central location, placing shops and the city's vibrant heart within easy walking distance; rooms are acceptably clean. However, hygiene in the kitchen appears to be a problem, so keep that in mind. Overall, its value hinges on how much weight you give to location versus kitchen cleanliness.”
