Nice but uncomfortable stay.

The room was very small and uncomfortable. Noise level was too high. You can hear it everytime someone turns on the water or walking around. Lila was kind enough to offer us the refund for the days we didn't stay.

Lila's place is a charming property located in the heart of the city, conveniently close to great dining options and the beach. The inn is not upscale by any means but had all the homely touches to it, and was well equipped with all amenities. The room and bathrooms were clean. The host was very responsive and texted us many options to grab dinner/breakfast around the hotel. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit!

Nice little Inn. Not modern, but vibes of a home, and well loved. Off the beaten (and worn) path down at the Spit, which suited us fine. Great pizza down the street, and a fine arts gallery next door. Good spot, good stop. If we ever make it back, you’ll find us here.
