What a gem!! We stayed for 4 days. Had to readjust our arrival and departure date at last minute due to typhoon Shanshan☹️. They even refunded our last day stay without asking as we had to leave a day earlier due to approaching typhoon.We arrived at midnight by train and the manager met us on site to welcome us and explain everything. Having a washer and dryer in one machine on site saved us! We would do a load of laundry every night and in the morning have clean clothes. Saved a lot of time when we got home as all clothes were clean and we did not have to do multiple loads of laundry. Place was clean, quit yet close to a bus stop and shops. Super responsive by Whatsapp to any request. Daily house cleaning. Would highly recommend. Keep up the good work! Loved your hospitality and your beautiful country😀😀

Die Unterkunft liegt sehr zentral. Sie ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Sogar mit einer Nespresso Maschine und Kaffekapseln. Auch die Waschmaschine mit Trockner war sehr hilfreich. Die Zimmer sind sehr schön im japanischen Stil eingerichtet. Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen.
