Why we picked it
An editorial choice based on facts the place publishes, not on a stay or a meal.
Because architecture is the point here: antique houses moved from Java and bamboo buildings, described house by house on the site. The site is also frank about what is missing, air conditioning, so you can choose knowingly.
