Large clean room in a secure house. Room has fan and air con so very adaptable to whatever temperature you like - I got too cold with the air con on. The communal bathroom and kitchen are kept nice and clean too. Central location and easy to walk to areas in stone town. The staff are super friendly too, and they responded quickly on booking.com messages. Would stay here again if back in stone town.
