Prima AirBnB op een goede locatie. Alles is goed bewandelbaar en tal van restaurants in de buurt. Kortom, goede plek in Stone city als je niet naar een  hotel wilt.

A bit difficult to find (no signage, but it's a brown door on a white facade --a gift shop around the corner pointed us to it), but otherwise a wonderful place. Lots of character, clean and big rooms that appear to be recently refurbished. Staff was very helpful (including helping with a taxi at 3am).

Historic, comfortable, character, and AC units which help with the heat. Owner was so kind and accommodating when we needed a room last minute on NYE after a failed Airbnb. Includes breakfast cooked by a lovely young woman and we ate it on the private rooftop terrace. Walkable distance to everything in stone town!
