I highly recommend staying here. The apartment was very clean and very spacious. I particularly loved the large wooden dining table. It made an excellent desk. :-) The neighborhood is quiet and I enjoyed taking walks to take a break from work. I also loved the rocking chairs on the porch!!

Thanks for hosting me, Rin. The place was clean and as quiet as I wanted it. The amenities were very convenient, and Rin was also very responsive. Check-in and check-out were smooth. I really enjoyed staying there and will definitely come back. I recommend #Shambana_Suites.
