All units at the homestay come with a seating area. The homestay offers some units that feature a terrace and inner courtyard view, and units are fitted with a private bathroom and a desk. At the homestay, each unit is fitted with bed linen and towels. A lovely homestay where the owner arranged my airport pickup at 4 a.m., with her son kindly coming to get me. She provides comfortable rooms and offers breakfast upon request. Though not centrally located, the peaceful neighborhood is perfect for a relaxing stay, and tuk-tuks to the city center are easily available.
