Bernie's place was very cute, simple, and clean! There was a very well-looked after garden in front of the porch, the area was fenced off making us feel comfortable, relaxed and secure! It was conveniently close to shops and food, as well as being relatively close to hot springs, national parks and beaches. It was a great place to come back to at night for the neighborhood was private and quiet. Definitely a great place for a winter kick-back as it was warm and cozy!! We met Bernie on the first day and although the meeting was short, he definitely made sure we knew our way round.
If you like a quiet place, this might be for you.
