Reviewed Sep 3, 2026The host was exceptionally helpful. He messaged us on WhatsApp before we arrived to check we'd made it safely, since we weren't familiar with the area, and offered to wait a little longer to hand over the keys. He also came by in the morning to help with our luggage and see us off
