“This guesthouse is well-situated with clean, comfortable rooms; the availability of a kitchen is a definite plus, allowing for some self-catering. However, light sleepers should note potential noise from nearby bars, which might extend into the early hours. Overall, a practical choice, provided you're prepared for some late-night sounds.”
