Having read other positive reviews, i had a good feeling about booking a night at Satoshi's place. My only concern before my arrival was that the weather forecast was for cool, rainy weather for the entire period i'd be there; and I wondered if the private room i booked would be warm enough. My worry proved completely unnecessary, as the room was plenty warm despite the cool temperatures and steady rain.
The place is kept very clean, and it seems to attract a respectful and quiet clientele. So I had a very relaxing and peaceful time, and a great night's sleep. The shared bathroom was also very clean and never a problem.
Satoshi is very quick and helpful in communications, and a very pleasant host. I'll happily return on any future forays to the Volcano area.
