The architecture of the building was beautiful, and the atmosphere very homey and welcoming. It has a nostalgic feel to it, and the overall experience was very comfortable. The host was also nice and made us feel at home.

Never book again!!

1. Remote location. Very difficult to access the house. 2. Room is very dirty. Spider webs stick on every comers. There are always insects inside the room. 3. Moldy sink which I don't even want to get close to it. 4. The room is very tiny. 5. The unbelievable thing is I paid for 4 guests, but two of us were asked to sleep in the attic of the room which is not a proper and suitable place for sleeping. 6. I am frequent traveller, this is the worst stay I have ever been!

また利用したい宿です

チェックインではインターホンで店主を呼びます。少し緊張しましたが、奥さんが明るく気さくな方で安心しました。 部屋は思った以上に清潔で快適。部屋にシャワーと小さなバスタブがありますがシャンプーや石鹸は置いていないので、必要な方は持ち込むか共同風呂へ。トイレも共同で少し寒いですがリーズナブルな宿泊費で満足でした。 ハンバーグランチも美味しかったです。
