The property was quaint, cozy, and walking distance to Salamanca and the CBD which was perfect. Rooms were cozy, and the shared bathroom was spacious, with amenities to use if needed such as shampoo and conditioner. Highlight of our stay was Kevin, who was incredibly cheerful and helpful, and made us feel so welcomed. I’ll recommend staying here for the experience alone!

Lowena was okay for one night near the CBD. Basically everything needs upgrading, ‘ensuite’ smelt mouldy, lots of furniture crammed into a small room, aesthetic was weird. Comfy bed so grateful for that.

Lovely old house with some modern features set in lovely garden. On a busy street hence busy traffic during the day and night. Hospitable host and very welcoming.

Very comfortable Bed, good location & host Kevin very friendly but the room was too cluttered & the ensuite that had been added to the room ruined it. Extrememly poor workmanship, very roughly built, joints not even flushed & very roughly painted. The shower cheap rounded one and not cleaned very well. The garden would have been lovely if it was looked after, but full of overgrown weeds. Such a shame as this would be a lovely pleace to stay if it was given some TLC.
