I had a wonderful stay and an amazing experience. My room had a beautiful outdoor area and the room itself was very clean and cosy. The host was incredibly helpful and went out of his way to assist me - which I am very thankful for. Thank you so much for having me.

This is the great place to stay for Tainan, it's tranquil and gives good experience to stay Taiwanese house. My room has a facing the patio and really relax. They also offer free use of the washing machine. One weakness is Wi-Fi. Some of the access points are out of the new security standard and also the signals are too weak. I don't recommend for workation but if you want to do digital detox, it will be a good choice.

日常を忘れさせてくれる宿

台南の市街地のど真ん中なので、立地は申し分なし（水仙宮市場や神農街まで歩いてすぐ）、施設は古さはありますが、よく手入れされており、性別問わずレトロ好きにはたまらない雰囲気を醸し出している宿です。

自分の部屋のようにとても落ち着いて過ごせた。周辺には飲食店も多く、観光にも便利。夜間スタッフが不在なのには少し不安だったが、何かあればLINEでやりとりしてすぐに対応してもらえた。ただ、今回2泊したが、2泊目は自分以外に宿泊者がいなくて、この建物に一人かと思うと少し怖かった。勿論玄関は、しっかりロックされているので大丈夫とはわかっていたが。。

非常に居心地の良いホテルでした。 私たちは3階の老屋という部屋でした。 リビング、ダイニング、ベッドルームが一間続きであり、バスルームにはバスタブがあります。 小さなバルコニーもありました。 シャワーの水圧、温度は十分で、排水も問題ありません。 ドライヤーもありました。 古民家を綺麗に再生した部屋は、とても雰囲気が良く、本当におすすめです。

너무 낭만적인 숙소입니다. 대만영화의 한장소같은 고즈넉함이 밖에 나가기가 아쉬웠어요. 올드한 샤워룸과 화장실에만 익숙해진다면 이 매력적인 숙소는 완벽합니다. 직원의 상주시간아 적고, 수건을 매일 챙겨준다거나 그런게 없고 수동적인것만 빼면 다 좋아요.

期待した通りのかわいい民宿でした。 チェックインのスタッフはとても親切で、日本語のガイドブックも貸してくれました。 お部屋のベッドのマットレスはちょうどいい柔らかさで、とても寝やすくゆっくり休めます。 周辺には有名な飲食店も多く、テイクアウトしてゆっくりお部屋で食べました。 バスルームは、シャワーカーテンがないのですが、床はよく乾き、問題なかったです。 チェックアウト後に、充電器を忘れたのですがスタッフの方がすぐに連絡をくれました。あいにく既に台南を離れていたので、2ヶ月後にまた台南に行く際まで預かってくれることになり、その親切さに感動しました。 広いお部屋だったので、一人だと少し値段は高いですが、とても充実して過ごすことができました。

伝統的なアパートをリノベした施設で、非常に雰囲気がよく、居心地が良かったです。 古い建物ではありましたが大変清潔に保たれており、とても柔軟かつ親切に対応してくださったので、時間を有効に使うことができました。 唯一気になったのは、喫煙スペースです。 私の部屋のすぐ下だった為、マナーが悪い方のケンカする声やにおいがたまに部屋まで届くことがありました。 これは施設というより、利用者のモラルの問題だと思うので、もう少しルールを厳しくても良いかもしれませんね。
