Malika and Ian were fabulous hosts! They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and settled. Their place is set up with all of the amenities and more of a hotel, with the beds being extremely comfortable as well. It was about a 25 minute walk to the Pearl and the local food (Pine State Biscuits/Sizzle Pie) was quite nice. Safeway is about 10 minutes down the road and perfect for starting off with breakfast at home. Malika and Ian's place is a wonderful and cosy home base, highly recommended!!
