Gerard welcomed us on arrival, helped us with our luggage. Prior to our arrival we kept in contact asking him for help in organising our excursions, directions to his place, etc. Excellent location for walking, quiet secure area, comfortable beds, good amenities. Supermarket and bakery close by. Gerard also kindly did a load of laundry for us, booked our cab to the passenger terminal. Wifi access was convenient. On a rainy night watched a dvd (good selection). Better than staying in a hotel.
