Ayako is truly an amazing host - very responsive and super accommodating re early/late check in/out times, which we really appreciated and which made a huge difference to our trip! The flat is VERY new, modern, spacious and sparkling clean! Check in & out could not have gone smoother!
We also used the fold out couch, and can attest that it’s really comfortable!! (a LOT more so than one would expect from a fold out couch!)
Washing machine works great. However, bring your own detergent as none is provided. An extra sheet would have been appreciated as well. And it does get a bit noisy at night so if you’re a light sleeper, bring ear plugs.
Otherwise, Ayako’s place truly is amazing! The neighborhood is sweet, and Ayako provides you with amazing suggestions for restaurants to check out in the area - we tried a couple and regretted not having tried them all! :)
Oh and the location is really good as well - just far enough from all the touristy places (so you get a break from it all) but also close enough that we walked everywhere the entire time we were there. But should you wish to use the metro or the tram, both are within a few mins walk from the flat.
All in all, a definite recommend!
