The staff were INCREDIBLY helpful. They assisted with directions and local customs. Airport transfers were arranged directly. A tasty breakfast included homemade yogurt, jams, and fresh bread each morning. Advice was offered regarding handling vendors and navigating the area.
The room was very slightly distant from the main square, requiring a short walk.
