We ate enough to keep us going for the whole day! The host also very kindly gave us a lift to Geibi station, as it was a bit far to walk with our baby.

Cons: Light scent of cigarettes in the room, althoughwe requested a non-smoking room. Not much else within walking distance, besides a convenience store and a laundrette. You really need a car to get around.
