A beautiful area just outside of Franz Josef. It's nearby the road, so you may get some traffic noise. Other than that, it was a quiet and restful night there. We could see the milky way at night!
We had a studio, so no kitchen but a microwave was available. There's a laundry as well. Wifi was good.
The manager was very friendly and allowed us to fill out campervan with water.

There are two issues, one is hygiene and the other is environment. I could hardly sleep that night. I will give it three points. The heavy rain hit the wooden house and the noise was very loud. There was also a toilet seat cover. When I entered the door and opened it, I found traces of dried urine. I gave it one point.

The bathroom is small and the sink is even smaller, which makes it inconvenient to use. The room/living room is quite spacious and the soundproofing is pretty good at night. It's about a five-minute drive from the town of Franz Josef. You can't walk there, but it's convenient!
The front desk can speak Chinese, introduces the attractions very kindly, and even gives you a bottle of fresh milk🐮!
