“The standout here is the host, whose genuine care shapes the experience; add to that, clean, air-conditioned rooms provide solid comfort after travel. However, some rooms might feel cramped, and maintenance seems inconsistent. Overall, a mixed bag, leaning toward positive for engaged solo travelers.”
