Use of inhospitable
Hi
If someone's house is difficult to reach because of either narrow and complicated streets or the broken roads, can we use the word inhospitable to describe such a home?
Chris's house is rather inhospitable -- by the time you reach the place, you've developed a bad backache because of the deep cracks in the roads.
Thanks,
Tom

While you may describe either a person or a place as inhospitable, that doesn't seem to be the case here. The house is not inhospitable, the roads leading to it are the problem. Inaccessible might be closer to what you want.
