Opt for a Room Away from the Main Road

Guests appreciated the beautiful courtyard garden, but be mindful that if you're a non-smoker, there might be occasional cigarette smoke if the windows are open.

Check for Ensuite Rooms

While some rooms have shared bathroom facilities, the owner is in the process of making every room ensuite, so it's worth checking for this option if it's important to you.
