“Highly recommend!”
For $15 / night you honestly get more than you could at any other place you'd pay $50 / night for. You get access to a full sized kitchen (with pots and pans included, as well as a massive porch area with lots of hammocks. In addition to this, the staff are incredibly nice and make if feel ljke you're welcome there!
