Mal himself comes across as a very nice guy, a pleasure to talk with. His cat is also very friendly.
The place however was quite dirty and more like a hostel than an air b and b. There were numerous other guests, dirty dishes in the kitchen, lots of grime and dirt on things like the light switches, and noisy one night guests who were drunk and played loud music until early hours of the morning.
The location is excellent and Mal is very nice and I don't like to give a not positive review for that reason, but, I left several days early, losing money in the process, so I think people should know what they are getting. It is very cheap, but, as I said, I had to leave early and in the long run cost me more.
