Super responsive host along with Penguin who checked us in on the day. One of us needed to see a doctor and they were really helpful there too!! Great place with everything you need - including copious amounts of coffee - THANK YOU!

Windy and Penguin are very helpful, friendly and flexible. the house is located very close to the gondola station, and there are several good restaurants around there.

We have recently returned for a five night stay at Windy and Penguin’s apartment. From start to end, our stay was excellent. Windy was extremely prompt in responding to all my enquires regarding transportation, ski lesson, ski hire. Upon arrival, Penguin was there to welcome us and help us settle in (in super fast mode as we were rushing to the ski shop before it closed in 20mins!). He kindly offered to drive us there and waited around in case we needed help with communication. He also came back to the apartment later that night after we’d come back from dinner to give us the lift passes (they offer a discounted rate). The apartment was perfect for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teenage kids). The bedrooms were very comfortable, with enough closet space. The bathroom and toilets were very clean and spacious. Ammenities like shampoo, conditioner, soup were also provided. There is a washer/dryer in the bathroom area, with laundry detergent provided and ample hanging space to air dry clothes if you don’t wish to use the dryer. The living, dining areas and kitchen are located upstairs. We spent many hours at night watching tv and playing cards in the comfortable space. Kitchen is fully equipped with all necessary utensils and cooking equipment as well as tea, coffee, rice, etc. Location wise, the apartment was perfect. Just a quick 5min walk up to the Gondola station which is also where the ski shop and ski school are located. There are many restaurants close by (5-10mins walk) all around. All the restaurants we went to were fantastic, very authentic (Penguin will give you his recommended list!). There is a convenience store less than 10mins walk downhill from the apartment, and a couple of big supermarkets in town (we walked into town two nights for dinner. It’s a pleasant 20mins walk or so). For us, what we appreciated most was Penguin’s hospitality. He was on hand to provide us with all kinds of information including recommending different restaurants, booking the restaurants for us, calling a taxi, finding a back country guide (who came to the apartment to discuss options) and everything else we needed. On the final night, I’d called Penguin to ask him to order a taxi for me to go to a nearby cafe to buy a cake for our friend’s birthday. Within 10mins, Penguin appeared at our door. The taxi company didn’t have an available taxi so he came instead to drive me to another cake shop in Furano town which was much better than the cafe I had initially thought of going to. Thanks Penguin for your thoughtfulness. The cakes were delicious! We would highly recommend Penguin and Windy’s place and we’re looking forward to coming back again soon!
