1 REVIEW-
Amazing hosts and a fantastic experience; everything about my stay was perfect, a tranquil location in a lovely neighbourhood (with great food options and an incredible dispensary within walking distance), clean and welcoming room with high quality facilities, easy check-in and out, and all at an amazing and generous price. Making it even more special were the hosts who provide a relaxing and healing environment in which to enjoy, rest, recover and smoke. I was lucky enough to have a session of Hi-Chi which was a true revelation- not only was it a great introduction to the world of Tai Chi, but the quality of the teaching plus the added focus of the cannabis made for a truly unique experience. I will definitely be pursuing it further and I highly recommend everyone to try it while staying here. My only regret is not being able to take avantage of the on-site massages that are also offered. Thanks to the lovely hosts for a perfect stay!
