It was a very comfortable, cozy house to stay in. The hostess and host were not talkative, but very nice and kind! They offer coffee, pot, cups, towels, etc. I was very grateful for them for letting us stay. One thing to note is that the global warming is affecting the comfort of stay. It was very hot until midnight when I stayed, and as it is described, they do not have the air conditioning in the room. I did not expect it to be that hot that day... so if you stay in the summer, please know that it could get really hot even in Aomori. Another thing to note was that the owner smoked outside right in front of the house. Since it was hot and we had the windows open, we smelled inside of the house. If you do not like smoking, you may want to take it into consideration. Overall though, the cost performance was extremely well.
