I had a good stay at Our House Guesthouse, thanks to its fantastic location, friendly staff, and clean, cozy rooms. The shared bathroom setup might be a concern for some, but it was manageable during my one-night stay. Overall, it felt more like visiting a friend's home rather than a typical hostel.
