“The Sahara Guest House is the sort of place I'd like to live at as a permanent guest... beautiful.”
Breakfast was fine. I managed to find muesli, kiwifruit and almond milk. My room was lovely although it did smell of testosterone which I tried to block out with air freshner The lovely old building was beautifully kitted out and I enjoyed staying in this atmosphere.
