charming stay near the station

cute hosts cozy room comfy bed

the hosts were cute and helpful. the room was very clean and cozy. the comfy bed ensured a restful night. i appreciated being able to check in earlier than scheduled.

i found the noise from nearby trains somewhat disruptive at night. this made it difficult to sleep with the window open. i suggest earplugs for light sleepers.
