This place was a magic little oasis hidden away in the city. It was clean, felt safe, and was very close to the airport. Dinner and breakfast there were both simple and delicious. Most importantly, it seems to attract travelers from all over the world, and the connections I made there in just one night were potent, grounding, and nurturing. Can't recommend this place enough. Thank you!
