The house is located inside the volcano forest which you don't see another house, all houses are hidden by the bushes and trees. the house is like a old camping house which the bathroom (separated women and men, no lock) are shared with all rooms (many rooms) the bath room is old and there are flies on the top ceiling and the setting is kind of scary if your are all girls. the parking lot is next door in the abandoned Japanese old school try not to check in at night. but the house is very clean and has everything you need, I never see the host, but he is very responsive and takes care of the stuff when we are not in the house. the beds are comfortable and clean. overall great value for the price and very close to the volcano park and restaurants.
