| Wonderful stay at the hostel - I had the whole place to myself. Very small town with a great historical museum and earthquake museum. the host was so friendly and made me dinner - one of the benefits of being the only guest! there is a computer available. No restaurants but the a small convenience store has enough goodies. | ||
