Julian was most helpful - giving me tips on safety, changing some U.S. dollars in a pinch, helping me procure a flight to Kaieteur, arranging taxis as needed, inviting me to a party thrown for friends on the veranda. The accommodations are modest, but the staff's personalized willingness to make the stay a good one and the affordable cost made this a place I would return to (I note I was traveling light and solo - and looking to experience the real Georgetown rather than being sequestered away in a plush hotel). The balconies/verandas are nice, the proximity to Roti Hut (a favorite) was good, and the relative closeness to downtown Georgetown was key. The area is a bit iffy after dark, but I found that keeping one's wits about and being observant can get one through. Overall, this is a very good spot from which to operate if you are looking to get a real feel for Georgetown, as I was across the span of six nights, or needing a quick crash pad if landing in Georgetown and heading on to Suriname or the interior of Guyana.
