This guesthouse is on the property of Sian's home, but as it's on a steep hill below the house and separated by landscaping, it feels like its own separate place. The space is bright with windows on two sides. This is a good place to work remotely. You can sit at the "kitchen" table facing out the window that looks down toward the city.
If you can handle a steep walk to and from the city center, there are lots of residential side streets and parks to explore along the way. Some of the paths don't appear on the paper or online maps, but I got suggestions from locals walking their dogs. It was worthwhile to get immersed in the forest instead of following the main roads. The guesthouse also has a good collection of maps and brochures for planning trips further afield.
One other bonus to this place: If you take the airport shuttle to the guesthouse, it is one of the first stops on the route. The driver told me that some passengers would be waiting through another hour's worth of stops.
There was an internet snafu when I arrived, and Sian initially tried to solve it remotely to give me my privacy, but eventually she came down to the guesthouse to troubleshoot. With teamwork, we were able to get the wifi working. I was glad that it gave us the chance to get to know each other a bit in the process. (She did go out of her way to make things right and refunded me my first night.)
