The apartment was comfortable and spotlessly clean. Waka the girl who works there at breakfast was exceptionally kind and accommodating with one person's allergies and some late arrivals. She was brilliant!! It's not cheap but seems everything in Nozawa quite pricey.

きれいでアットホームな民宿

きれいで快適なお部屋で過ごすことができました． チェックアウト後も快く車を停めさせていただけたので，ゆっくりと街を散策することができました．お部屋のお風呂は温泉ではありませんが，温泉は外湯めぐりで十分楽しむことができるので問題であるとは感じませんでした． お部屋の防音はさほど良くないので，宿泊客同士でマナー良く利用することでお互いに快適に過ごすことができるのではないかと思います．
