The place is big and well equipped. It's also very clean.
If you are looking for air conditioning and hot water, this is not the place but honestly I didn't need them during my staying. I advice this place for solo travellers.
The place is very central. You find everything you need, from historical places to markets and restaurants.
Joshua, the owner of the place is a very kind person, always available and committed to improve your staying.
Travelers on a budget looking to experience a place like a local will enjoy homestays. These simple accommodations are in a private home, where the host also lives. All facilities are shared and in most cases breakfast is included.
Mellisa was very helpful, giving us local contacts to make our stay easier and more relaxing. The apartment was spacious and comfortable and had everything we needed. It was within walking distance to both the village and the beach. The locals were also very friendly and helpful.
Homely stay in Shela
Nice spaces on the roof to enjoy sunset or to relax
Freshly cooked breakfast (omelette + fruit)
Joseph was a great host and tried to help whenever I had questions
