The apartment looked as pictured and had a pleasant Japanese feel to it, as advertised. The room with the tatami bed has no windows, which didn’t bother us but might for some people. Views from the balcony and main bedroom were really nice though, given that we were so high up and had unobstructed views. The check in for us happened a little later than expected. We were initially advised that we could check in at 2pm. We flew in and were ready to check in around 1pm so I asked the host if we could check in at 1 but was advised this was unlikely so I said to let me know when it’s ready. Well, it only ended up being ready past the original time listed of 3pm, which was disappointing. We couldn’t just wait around as we had other plans so ended up coming back late at night to check in. This involved grabbing the keys out of a lock box attached to a bicycle. Hm. I guess the good thing is that we could check in anytime but I had a bit of anxiety about getting the keys because of where it was placed.. The apartment itself was cosy and comfortable but be warned… you can hear absolutely everything through the walls!! From the cars and sirens downstairs to the sound of water when someone showers, washes their hands or flushes the toilet.
