Very near the airport -- you can walk it! Really great location. Wifi is weak, but I guess that's how it is in the entire island. Couldn't figure out how to make the water heater work. Complimentary breakfast is delicious, but you'll have to get your brewed coffee elsewhere. Overall, a nice place to stay in.

I stayed here for 2 nights from January 15 to 17. I had volunteered as a photographer to an ordination of a friend and chose this place for its proximity to the Cathedral. I anticipated needing to go to the Cathedral several times so being close to the Cathedral would be a big help. Manang Necy's place is indeed very close to the Cathedral. Manang Necy's place is a 3-storey concrete structure. The ground floor is her residence. There is a separate entrance to the stairs that leads to the 2nd and 3rd floor. The walk up the stairs is a manageable climb. Reaching the top, there is a living space foyer that leads to the rooms and also to the kitchen, to the front balcony and another stairs leading to the 3rd floor. I occupied what is denominated as Room 1. I had access to the front balcony from the room and a front and side window. January being a cool month, I did not turn on the airconditioner and preferred to open the windows to take in fresh air. The windows are of the jalousies type, and have a wire mesh and an insect screen plus curtains which ensures privacy and protection from any insects. The room also has a wall mounted electric fan which I utilized to maintain a continuous circulation of new air. The room has a private toilet and bath with provision for a water heater for the shower. Using international standards, the bed would be classified as a double-sized bed which while comfortable for a single person may be a bit tight to comfortably fit two full sized adults. The common area outside the room has a table where one could take breakfast. Importantly, it has a filtered water dispenser with three options, water at room temperature, cold and hot. I did not use the kitchen but it is available if one wants to prepare and cook food. The host Manang Necy arranged for the airport transfers are also provided breakfast. Manang Necy's warmth and hospitality made my stay special and memorable. In addition to ensuring that I had what I needed for my stay, Manang Necy was an invaluable resource person for understanding many aspects of the way of life in Basco and Itbayat where she is from. On my first night, the ever solicitous Manang Necy asked if I had taken dinner and even accompanied and walked to to a nearby restaurant where I took a sumptuous dinner. She also arranged for me to meet a friend that helped me to better understand the minutiae of a bucolic and idyllic life in Batanes. Thank you Mananag Necy! In addition to being about 2 minutes walk to the Cathedral, the small grounds around Manang Necy's place is planted with many beautiful flowers. It was a delight to stand outside the balcony in the 2nd floor and take in all the beautiful flowers below. There is some road noise from the tricycles that intermittently passes by in front of the house but the tranquil and placid pace in Batanes plus the cool fresh air quickly lulled me to sleep. I would have no hesitation to return and stay at Manang Necy's place if I need to travel alone and stay close to the Cathedral and near the town center.

Usually the pictures on Airbnb are too good to be true but Kristine’s place was even better than the photos! It was clean, easy to get to and from the airport and was close to stores and restaurants. You even get a view of one of the lighthouses from the balcony! I highly recommend staying at her place if you’re planning a trip to Batanes!
