“The owner was very nice and the room served its purpose.”
The property is a way out of the town. About a 10-minute walk. I chose it for that reason as it was far enough away from the mosques that my sleep was not disturbed. The owners were very friendly and helpful. They provided a thermos of hot water and coffee and offered an electric kettle when I arrived. They served up a delicious breakfast of nasi goreng and chicken, which was cooked specifically for my allergies. The view of Rinjani from the veranda of my room was spectacular.
I could not get the shower to produce any hot water. There was a gas cylinder fitted to the gas water heater at the rear of the room, but I could not get any hot water at all. I left after my first night, so I wasn't able to discuss with the owner about that problem. There were lots of mosquitoes flying around the room the whole night. Bring mosquito repellent.
