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.

Except for the unstable internet connection -- it was down the night i checked in -- this hostel is almost perfect.
