Very well located. Nice and unique decoration of the house. Rooms are very pretty. Staff is very kind. Service is good. The manager pay attention to any claim. Breakfast was good. There is a fridge, tea and coffee in the share areas.We enjoyed our stay!! I would just recommend to change the beds upstairs, as they are very hard and uncomfortable ( downstair our bed was better). =)

伝統的な住居をそのまま利用した雰囲気のよい宿泊施設で静かで落ち着いた空間である。トイレ・シャワーは共同だが私が宿泊した部屋は隣だったのでほぼ専用で使用でき不便はなかった。窓にガラスがなく雨が降ると木の扉を閉めることになり真っ暗になるがそれも味だろう。場所はオールドタウンのどこへもアクセスしやすく便利である。
