I stayed in Tokyo for four weeks. Communication with host was quick with Go ogle translator. After two weeks I requested fresh bedding (standard request), it was delivered promptly. Unfortunately there were no bedsheet, but mattress cover. After exchange of numerous messages, including pictures, host continued to insist that mattress cover is the bedsheet. Since host didn’t offer any solution, I decided not to escalate the situation and said that I will take care of it. Washing and drying large bedsheet from my bed in the room was not practical. So I went to the store and for my $38 bought a bedsheet. Alternative was to sleep in unclean bed or on the bare mattress for two weeks. Interestingly, I learned that the pronunciation of the word “bedsheet” in Japanese is exactly the same as in English. A few people, I had to ask for help while shopping, knew exactly what I wanted and helped me to find bedsheet in the store. I left my bedsheet in the apartment.
