My daughter and I stayed here for 8 nights and LOVED it! Love the location, love the small and vibrant community, love the hospitality, love love the cleanliness, love the amazing shower with fantastic pressure, love the free coffee every morning and love the choice of fabulous tea and coffee above the fridge. We had the bedroom downstairs and the upside to this was having the toilet, shower and facilities right next door. The only downside is that the shower is available 24 hours and for some strange reason, the other guests occasionally had showers at 1.00 or 2.00am. Saying this, it was not a big issue (plus there are free foam earplugs available on the counter in the lounge area if you are a very light sleeper). Shota-san was truly amazing! His hospitality is THE best. His communication is clear and excellent. He was very helpful and informative and would look up information to ensure accuracy. Shota-san even went with us to the post office and helped us to send 4 packages. That would have been a difficult and lengthy process as the lovely ladies there, while friendly and helpful, do not speak a lot of English (and I only know a grand total of 4 Japanese words). Highly highly recommended. This will be one of our most special and memorable trips and this is largely due to the amazing hospitality at Guestohouse Sheena and Ippei.
