The whole massage was very comfortable and the lights were not very bright, so there was no need to worry about being embarrassed. There is a cup of sweet tea before the massage, and hot tea and refreshments after the massage, which is very considerate.

A 120-minute 4-hand oil massage. The two masters were in perfect harmony with each other and very comfortable. Moreover, if you live in the ancient city, there is a free shuttle bus.
