When I entered the house, the first thing that captured my eyes was the old wooden staircase on the right side of the ground floor, covered with red carpet. On the left side is the presidential table, with three armchairs.

We stayed at Pabua’s Cottages for 1,500 pesos overnight. The room is wide, with its own clean rest and shower room, TV with cable, terrace, and three queen-sized beds.
