"The homestay was remodeled from the original old house. The floor height of all room types is average, but the design is very warm. We live in 2202-1. We can still live for 4 people. The bed on the first floor is slightly simple. We lived on the day. In a shower, look out from the small window and listen to the rain and watch the mountains. Friends who like this idea should be able to stay for a whole day. The disadvantage is that the accommodation needs to climb the stairs. It is recommended not to bring major luggage. The sound insulation is a flaw. The old house can't be done. If it is not for the poor quality, it should be OK. There are many old houses around the hotel that have not been renovated. There will be some small insects, but the room is not seen. The boss is doing it himself, the service is still very warm, the location is very biased, if you need to bring your own snacks, anyway, I like this environment very much, and I have a chance to stay for a few days."
