me and my boyfriend only stayed a night because we wanted to go to Marala beach which is actually not super close - maybe if you walk there. as we went with a car and continued travelling west, that wasnt really important to us. we were accepted by owner's mother, a sweet woman, who let us wash the car after seeing the state of it :) the appartment/studio has everything one needs, most basic things. the kitchen could be better equipped and the place could be cleaner, but the bed is great. if you are travelling on a budget, i think there is nothing cheaper in the area!
