This is a big house with a terrace and a garden in an area of Asturias full of history and greatly connected with all the region. It is in the center of Asturias.
We rent per room. The owner has herself backpack many countries in the world and she is in love with discovering new cultures. She decided to have a big house to host people in her hometown as it is a very interesting place for travelers: very well connected by public transport and good roads, near to traditional restaurants and sidrerías, near the sea and the mountains and Natural Parks, museums, and with very kind and welcoming people.
I have available 3 rooms for guests in one floor where you also have a well equipped kitchen, bathroom and a terrace that gets sun the most part of the day (when it is not cloudy, of course). Me, the owner, live upstairs and have my own kitchen and bathroom so you will not share it with me. Only, maybe, with other guest if there are. There is no air conditioning as here is normally not needed because summers are not extremely hot as other parts of Spain (I love this about Asturias) . In winter you have heater. In every room you have a cupboard to leave your clothes, windows and confy beds.
This is a village that is 2 km (20 minutes walk and 4 minutes by car) from a town of 8,000 population (there are lights and a pathwalk to go there), that is part of a long valley. You can also get a bus three times a day from my house to this town, called El Entrego. From El Entrego there are trains and buses to many places in Asturias. By car you can connect my house with all the region very easily as we are in the center. For example, going to a Ski resorts it takes you like 35 minutes. And going to the beach you have the closest 25 minutes away by car.
Here we have in our recent history the work of coal mines and workers fighting for their rights. In the town of El Entrego, you have two very important museums about that: Museo de la Minería and Museo Pozu Sotón where you can access to a real mine 560 meters under the ground. This museum is 2 km away from my house. In fact, my house is located in front of an old coal mine: Pozu Venturo.
After finding out that in my town there is not many places to stay as tourist and after receiving many many visits from my friends from different places in the world, I am happy to offer a house in a place I find very nice and with an affordable price. As a traveler, I always liked very genuine towns and villages, with welcoming people and traditional food and I think this will be a good space for other people that are loving to discover Asturias.
That is why I charge per person and not per room. As I want to make it easy for solo travelers as well (much solidarity from a person who loves discovering the world many times by herself).
I speak English, Spanish, French fluently and SerboCroatian-Bosnian and Macedonian in a medium level.

About the Area
My house is located by the road (no worries, is a small road so the cars will not bother you), that goes and comes to the closest towns. We have a bus stop just in front, but the bus stops a few times per day. Walking is also beautiful and safe (pathway, lights all night and this is a super safe area in general).
There are mountains around. By car, you can connect my house with all the region very easily as we are in the center. For example, going to a Ski resort takes you like 35 minutes. And going to the beach you have the closest 25 minutes away by car.
The doctor is only 2 km away (during the day there is a pharmacy closer) and a public and good hospital is around 15 minutes by car. We have a shopping center near a big supermarket.
