8.1Verified guest“I had an amazing experience at Casa Evelyn in a fabulous location. Maria, the host, made me feel at home and was extremely helpful. The rooms were modern and clean, with AC and a shared bathroom that was only used by one other room. The kitchen looked brand new and the rooftop terrace offered the best views in the city. The convenient location was within walking distance of the walled city and numerous restaurants and bars. Cons: Can honestly say there wasn't anything not to like about Casa Evelyn.”
