I had a great experience at Kinn Guesthouse Bay View, enjoying the beautifully designed rooms and the fantastic location near many local restaurants. though carrying my luggage up to the second floor was a challenge since there’s no elevator. The neighborhood felt safe, and having a well-equipped room made my stay comfortable. However, a few details about noise levels and lighting could be improved.

I had a pleasant stay at Kinn Guesthouse Bay View. The rooms are spacious with beautiful high ceilings and overall a nice atmosphere, though I did notice some noise from the hallway which affected the overall quietness of my stay.
