Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in is limited to late afternoon — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 18:30, which may be tight for early arrivals or late flights.
- Early check-out — Guests need to be out by 11:00, which is standard but may feel early for a relaxed morning.
- No pets allowed — If you plan to travel with a pet, this isn't the place – the policy is a firm no.
- Small property, limited shared spaces — With only 11 rooms, the guesthouse is intimate, but the common areas are minimal – the rooftop is the main outdoor spot.
