We stayed there for 7 nights so we got a good judge of the location, it was very safe and quiet. The only addition which would be nice could be coffee machine, but we really could not have asked for much more. The TV was a smart TV so we could watch streaming, there was air con in every room. We got a bottle of wine on check in which was a lovely touch :)"

"The room/apartment I was assigned to (4) was gorgeous, and very unique. I fell in love as soon as I entered. The owner was very accommodating although she was quite busy and obviously stressed. The breakfast at Komera was exceptional, and in a very nice setting. My only complaint was the a/c which barely functioned and required that I keep pressing jet mode every 15 minutes, and even that was inadequate. Classic LG junk. Sleep was not great because of that, and only that. There was no noise, whatsoever, and the location could not have been better."
