If you do not need luxury and just want the basics and a safe place to sleep, you'll be fine at Jurriaan's place. It is small and each room is down the same hallway.  …

This BnB and room brought me back to the 90's. The place is a little outdated and could use a refresher. Room was clean and the host was very kind. However I was glad we only stayed one night.
