We had a terrific stay at Yoshimi and Marek's lovely apartment. Everything was brand new, organized and tidy, and we had all the comforts and conveniences we needed. The "Survival Kit" they left for us was packed with information on the home and the neighborhood, and even included emergency numbers and other details that we had not seen at other rentals. The apartment is Japanese in scale, small by our American standards, but everything is designed so well that it was quite comfortable for our family of 4. The neighborhood wasn't particularly picturesque, but it was definitely convenient and interesting. Great value, and a great stay.
