secure roomeasy check-inlakeside location

the room felt very secure, so i felt more comfortable during my first solo trip. the guest house used access codes, sent in advance, so check in was very easy. it's located only a 5 minute walk to the lakeside, i saw plenty of bars and food places near.

i noticed no hot water in the basin one evening.
