"When I booked last minute I didn't realise the studio booked was a backpackers, but the price was amazing. When I arrived, I was a little worried but shouldn't have been. The property is great and you have so much personal space. The shared kitchen was fabulous, perfectly clean and equipped to suit a 100 person restaurant. I never saw another resident. I would easily return. The English receptionist was so friendly and helpful."
