Ned's place is a great option for someone who is looking for some form of a kitchen to do some cooking in. Ned was out of town when I stayed, but he was super helpful and responsive from afar. His wife Keiko was present and was extremely helpful and kind.
My only complaint would be the heat. Check what the weather will be like for when you will be staying first. If it is going to be hot, move on and find somewhere else to stay. Ned's place is at the top of the building where all the heat rises and collects. You also cannot open a window because it is located within the building in a hallway. I have stayed in other countries before and am used to traveling with no air conditioning, however, this was next level. I have a thermometer I carry with me when I travel sometimes and it was showing 91 degrees Fahrenheit at night time. It was so bad, that I ended up checking out two days early and booking elsewhere because it got so bad I couldn't breathe.
Other than that, great, quiet place. Again, CHECK THE WEATHER before you book.
