“I noticed this guest house sits just a short walk from Gora Station, an ideal location for exploring the area. It seems this is a spot to meet fellow travelers, and I like that it has a basement with a pool bar and table tennis-a cool addition. The rooms are clean, and the rooftop views are said to be impressive.”
