+I stayed for literally a few hours after a late arrival flight and early pickup and it was ideal. The had was so helpful and everything was easy.
−The only downside is the bathroom is outside, so a bit of a walk in the dark from upstairs dorm.

+Idéalement placé à l sed bee, ak de l'aéroport, en seulement 5 minutes en taxi cu y êtes. Malgré une arrivée tardive car mon vol a été retardé, l'hôte m'a accueilli à plus de minuit. La dortoir de 4 personnes est climatisé et comme il n'y avait personne dans la chambre individuelle au même palier, j'ai pu me servir de la douche et des toilettes. Une serviette est à disposition. Le lit est confortable, vous disposez d'une prise, d'une lumière individuelle et d'un rideau pour votre intimité. L'hôte a été d'une grande aide pour le début de mon voyage, savoir où prendre le bus, comment et quand. Il m'a aussi aiguillé sur mon itinéraire et conseillé plusieurs endroits. Il y a une cuisine, de l'eau à disposition et la salle commune est peuplée de jeux et de livres ! Je n'y suis restée qu'une nuit mais je ne doute pas que ce soit être un lieu de partage !
−Rien à voir avec l'hôte mais les chiens errants ont aboyé toute la nuit, compliqué de bien dormir après une longue journée de voyage.

“A restful night after a late arrival at the airport :)”
+The owner is very kind! I arrived late, but he was there to welcome me. He also gave me advice for the rest of my trip. The place is ideal if you want to spend a night near the airport before setting off to explore the country. The bed, sheets, and pillow were very comfortable; I had a great night's sleep. I recommend it!
