Pros:

It is clean and comfortable. Near downtown and boulevard.

Cons:

Common CR in 2nd floor only. If you stay at the 3rd floor you need to go down just to use the bathroom/Cr... No parking space. Park at your own risk .

Pros:

A place to stay if you’re planning on staying a day or two. It’s about 15 min walk to the boulevard and the same with a tricycle to the airport. The room that I was staying in was very clean, had an ac, the bed was comfortable and has a shared balcony.
Nikko who is the host is a nice and warm person, he helps you out with all the questions and request that you have.

Great location, helpful and polite host with lots around you.
Pros:

You have two floors upstairs. One is a living room space with a good tv, kitchen area and fridge. The other are the rooms. There was lots available to you indoors if you wanted and the host (Nikko) was very helpful and polite. We stayed for 2 nights before heading to Siquijor and really enjoyed our stay 🫶🏽

We would recommend travelling to Sans Rival for food as it’s reasonably priced and food amazing (especially the pasta plates)

Pros:

We had an unexpected night in Dumaguete due to travel delays and booked into Elaine's Homestay as the price was right for us. We could not fault the place. Nikko was so friendly, the house was spotless and the location was close to the port for our boat the following morning. 10/10 would stay again :)
