Sharing |
Please note that reservations for up to 2 people per room can be taken without prior notification to guests who have already reserved a room or are currently staying. Sole occupancy of a room cannot be guaranteed if there are more than 2 people staying in the apartment at one time. Most people consider this to be a plus, as it provides the opportunity to forge relationships with Buyu from around the world, and makes it more fun to trade training tales around the kitchen table in the evenings.
