Did not end up completing stay. Great location but was informed 1 day in advance there would renovations taking place. Arrived to find elevator, hallway, room door and room balcony all covered in plastic with strong smell of fresh paint. Considered checking out same evening but given late time of checkin (around 12am), no easily available alternative. In AM while packing up, construction workers were on balcony doing work. Fortunately, host was very polite and issued full refund but due to poor sleep, we ended up running late and missing open hours for Jigokudani, our planned day trip. Would not stay again, much nicer alternatives available for slightly higher prices.
