Great hostel close to bus stop and just six blocks to Marina and town square. Well organized with each room having a shelf space in kitchen. Entire place is open and spacious. Private and Shared rooms. My private room was double bed with AC and a fan. Never needed the AC. Ability to do wash and hang clothes if needed. Quiet and safe. Great pizzeria in garden area for evening meal. Beer, wine and limited spirits available. Fantastic gift shop that should be visited even if not staying here. Definitely will come again if in town.
