I was staying in the guest house (the guesthouse) and was working in Kokoka (the book café/bar). Both of these places were so cozy and welcoming, I had a lot of fun staying there. My colleges were very kind and helpful, I really enjoyed the month I got to stay there! The location is also very great!
