The people staying on site are foreigners who work in exchange for lodging only, without ANY salary. They are really friendly and attentive, and try their best to provide top notch assistance. More credit and understanding need to be given to them for their dedication to the tasks at hand. They should be applauded for their eagerness to provide the best possible customer service experience.However, the opposite could be said of the owner of the establishment, which is the person in charge of accepting online reservations. It was difficult to communicate with the owner as they were rather inflexible and long winded. We had spent over an hour trying to discuss payment. Really ended up feeling frustrated and filled with negative emotions.

The stairwell is very steep and narrow. It is not suitable for elderly people and children. I heard that many guests fell down.The sound insulation of the old house is very poor, the door lock will get stuck, and the air conditioner will not be repaired if it breaks.It is far away from the busy business district and requires a ride. It is more convenient to live directly in Santiao or Sitiao.

advantage:Overall, the room is very clean and tidy. There are many gourmet supermarkets outside the B&B and it is close to the subway station, which is very convenient. The owner is polite and kind.defect:You need to carry your luggage up the stairs and the stairs are narrow; the toilets and bathrooms are shared and often unavailable, which is not convenient for the elderly; there is no luggage storage service.

The room we booked did not have an independent bathroom, but it was included in the room photos on the booking website. However, the soundproofing of the room was not good.The room we booked doesn't have a private bathroom, but the photos on the booking website show that it does. Additionally, the room has poor soundproofing.
