    The owners and staff amazing. They even offered to drop us off at beach and pick us up when we couldn't get taxi.

    A friendly place, really a restaurant with rooms up (very steep) stairs, with many things still under construction. The restaurant is wonderful, and offers a full breakfast if you order it the night before.

    Super convenient on Market Street with a wine bar/restaurant attached. Felt very private. The water pressure in the shower was fantastic! I don’t get that at my own house.

    Great location, excellent wine bar on premises and very good food. Cosy rooms and clean! We were 3 friends, so a bit cramped, but to be expected in the older guesthouses.
