Mericia is a lovely hostess and her home is clean and nicely decorated. It has a nice view of the city. I arrived later than I anticipated, but there were no problems entering. Mericia does not speak English but has local information printed in English. I had great fortune as she had an English speaking friend visiting and we were able to speak and translate into the evening over tea. I had a great time describing my visit thus far, with all the sites and cultural experiences. This greatly added to my stay as it was fun to share and hear their opinions. Not the best location for sightseeing or restaurants but a central location with access to everything via Uber. Like many houses, it takes awhile for the hot water to arrive, so turn it on for awhile before you need it. The bed is low to the floor and a bit stiff, but comfortable unless you have a bad back. Good wifi connection. A nice stay that was enhanced by the conversation! I would be happy to stay again.
