Travellers rave about this family-run B&B near the marshrutka stand, describing it as a real home away from home. Owner Anakhit offers a warm welcome and is known for her home-cooking – her Armenian suppers are a highlight (AMD2500 to AMD5000). Rooms are cute and cosy, and there's a lovely terrace with a view. Daughter-in-law Anna speaks English and French.
