"All great except the room spray to get rid of cigarette smell not as powerful as before that I used to experience. But this seems to be throughout the outlets of APA and not just this unit."

"家族全員で、全中出場のお兄ちゃんの応援に、ホテルは、何処も満室。そこで、民泊へ。普通にホテルに泊まるよりくつろげて、設備は整っていて、洗濯乾燥機まである。 　特大テレビで競技の鑑賞も出来て、最高でした。古民家再生で、昔のおばあちゃんの家のようで懐かしい。お隣の猫もよく似合ってた。"
