Andy was a great host and we meet different culture from Spain, Colombia, Russia, Canada, Chili. We find it on Overlander and come without reservation. There was bedroom for us so we paid $20 per person and enjoy a good meal at night with all travelers. So good time and we think to come again soon. Heater in the room, hot water, simple guest house but with lot of love. Thank you

We stayed for three nights.
The hostel is a very friendly, relaxing and chilled place.

Andy allowed us to stay on the parking lot and sleep in our Land Rover.
There is not much space. So a VW Bus or similar is the maximum I would say.

The bathrooms a clean and nice, showers hot.

Neighborhood is quiet at night but there also restaurants and bars around the corner.

We paid 30 USD per night but price might vary seasonally.
