Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in and check-out windows are fixed — Check-in is strictly between 14:00 and 18:00, and check-out is between 07:00 and 10:00, which may be tight for some travel plans.
- No pets allowed — The guesthouse is not pet-friendly, so you'll need to make other arrangements if traveling with an animal.

- Street parking only — While guests note street parking is safe, there's no dedicated private lot, so availability may vary.
