Easy communication with the host and the lady that let us in for him. The place felt quite homely to us and the view is quite nice. A decent amount of sunlight comes in, especially in the morning.
The advantage of the location is that it was quiet most of the time. You can't really hear cars. It is a bit of a walk to the nearest bus stop, but not too much.
There were only two things that made our stay here less comfortable:
1. noisy squeaking sliding door to the bathroom
2. mosquitoes come in because there are no insect screens on the windows (we lost some sleep because of this and woke up with mosquito bites)
I think the value is good for the very affordable price. I'd be willing to pay a bit more if these two points would get fixed.
