    When I started traveling I would have never thought that I would ever feel as comfortable in a hostel, as I did in this place. It felt so much like home that I almost didn't leave the hostel whatsoever. Nikki is one of the most...More

    Uhm it is a quiet long walk. Takes you probably 20min by walking... But I'd say it is worth it. You can try to ask them to pick you up, but I think they don't do it normaly.
