As the name suggests, ijen miner family homestay is a place where you can stay and also learn more about the back stories of being a miner and their families. It is a good experience, and the next day, adi was our guide up ijen. He was very conscientious, kind, encouraging us every step of the way, and we experienced the beauty and magnitude of ijen - the blue fire (spectacular!), the gas clouds (could live without), the views and really, I think I would not have enjoyed ijen that much if not for adi, so kudos to him. Regarding ijen miner family homestay, I like that it is sited within a village where I think everyone is a miner or related to that. Very authentic and the people are warm and friendly. The landscape of the place itself is gorgeous, and while the amenities are basic, I thought it was all pretty good and it is a place I would highly recommend. Had a comfortable sleep before the hike.
