Mixed experience due to maintenance issues

no hot water no discount
The host was helpful during check-in.
The boiler was out of service for two days, so there was NO hot water for showers. The host offered NO discount, though the problem remained unresolved until my departure. VERY frustrating.

FANTASTIC Stay!

attentive host thoughtful tea helpful staff great communication
Keiko was SUCH an attentive host. I REALLY appreciated the thoughtful tea tray in my room. The staff were helpful, and the location was great (close to everything!). The site staff provided great communication, so there was no interference .
My room was a LITTLE small. The bed felt somewhat squashed inside, but that's ALL.

Great Location and Responsive Hosts!

great location responsive hosts lovely garden view
The location is wonderful. I could easily walk to many attractions or hop on a bus just a block away. The hosts responded quickly and made sure all my needs were met. My room provided a lovely garden view.. it was peaceful. The staff replaced tea and coffee in the room daily. I also appreciated the plentiful supply of clean cups.
I found the bathroom to be quite small, made moving around a bit challenging.
