"The whole entire guesthouse gave me a peace of mind because I was the only guest staying there and there were 3 rooms available, but I had peace and prosperity and the whole entire place to myself, so I've gotten lucky. I didn't like the bathroom layout structure however though. I didn't like how the bathrooms were designed and the shower was in a separate stall unit of the house and there were 2 toilets and none of them had a sink. The staff could of done better for guests and provide pictures...
