Nicel traditional joglo in a central area. Really good value despite the sound of traffic

The room was as advertised, things were in good working order. The shower did not have hot water. One thing that was not advertised is that his wife has a pretty full trophy case from baking competitions. The breakfasts were delicious and included homemade Indonesian pastries of the best quality. Benyamin was extremely helpful with my stay in Yogyakarta. He helped arrange a driver at a very decent price (ie; what locals might pay) for a Borobudur trip when there was a mix-up with a tour company where their mini-bus left without me. I was on the road in less than an hour after learning that my previously arranged transport fell through. His advice on where to shop for batik turned out to be the best shops I found anywhere in Indonesia. Both mornings I was there, I had pre-6am departures. Despite this he had breakfast for me. When I expressed interest in the mango tree in his garden, he made available as many mangoes as I could have wanted.

Benjamin offered free pick up from the airport, which was very thoughtful after my exhausting overnight flight. The traditional Javanese pavilion, a Joglo, was absolutely stunning. Waking up to the beautiful carved wood ceiling was definitely a unique experience that I couldn't have easily asked for else where. The housekeeper was a sweet lady who lived right next to the Joglo. Despite not being able to communicate with her in English, I could totally feel her warm hospitality as she had shared with me her homemade desserts couple of times! I also enjoyed being waken up by the roosters in the garden every morning. My stay with these lovely people and animals was pretty unforgettable.
