Nigel is stylish like a Japanese RPG character, so his place feels like an inn out of Final Fantasy. He's got a goatee and ponytail of great white hair behind him. Wouldn't you want to meet a character like that?
Honestly, he is probably the coolest host I've received on my trip. He made an effort to make my stay really pleasant by verifying that everything was ok. The only shame was in how little time I had to talk to him!
Also - taking the funicular was very fun. Those seeking a cozy accommodation with a lot of soul and very hospitable guests should definitely try this place!
