“This guesthouse strikes me as a practical choice near the airport, balancing a garden setting with city access. I see a focus on halal and vegetarian options, potentially appealing to specific dietary needs. While some reports mention service inconsistencies, I note the bicycle rentals and proximity to beaches could be a plus for independent exploration.”
