Chris & Kumi
Our guesthouse is simple and comfortable, and the location is incredible. It's on the second floor looking down over the pedestrian-only Nawate Street. There is a cafe below us, a cafe across the street, an antique shop next door, and a fresh local produce market across the street. The entire rest of the street is lined with nice attractions, all the way until the large shrine at the end. There are access points to the Metoba river that follows our street. Downstairs we have a bar with many local drinks, and there are often live music performances, usually two or three times a week.
Chris and Kumi love hosting travelers because it gives us a little nostalgia thinking back to our travel days, gives us inspiration for raising our kids, and gives us joy helping other travelers learn and see more of this beautiful area. We would like to learn what you are interested in, so we can help you experience more that suits your style!
Our street is pedestrian-only, lined with small shops, cafes and restaurants, and follows the beautiful Metoba River. It's an incredibly walkable neighborhood, as well as most of the city, although we do also offer bicycle rentals to make things quicker!
