This Guesthouse is perfect for transit! My room was very tidy and big. The bathroom as well, with a good (hot water) shower. The staff is great and Zuchu a Pearl. She was very uncomplicated, full of energy& joy and let me feel to „be home“ from the first second on.

It’s very close to the airport so great the night before a flight. It’s in a secluded area but very nice rooms. Staff are great and help you find the location and book a taxi at the right time.
