Sara's place is in a very nice location close to transit, grocery stores, restaurants, shopping, and cafes. We stayed in town for a concert at the Vega and it was the best! We took a bus to get food and walked to the Vega and then walked home. It was perfect. There are many grocery stores nearby. The bed was suuuper comfortable and they had the perfect pillows. The kitchen table is enormous and had tons of space. I had access to Netflix through their PS3, which was nice for relaxing nights. They had lots of board games and a great record collection. It was nice. The bathroom is very small and dark. I've been in small bathrooms throughout Japan but this was smaller than what I've experienced. It's hard to feel refreshed afterwards. I also didn't like that their was no space to put up any of our clothing. All the closets were used and there was a system of what drawers we could use and what we couldn't. I mean, it is someone's home afterall but it was hard to live out our suitcases for 5 days. It would've been nice to hang some things up and put away some stuff. The walk through the food hall (if it were in full effect) would've been awesome but it's mostly abandoned and sketchy to walk through the first few times but you get used to it after a while. The blankets and couch smelled unclean. It's also a bit dark, which you get used to as well. I probably would choose to stay at another place next time. But for this time, it was fine.
