Overall, the experience during my stay was enjoyable. The hosts prepared towels, hangers, drying racks, and a welcome note! The tatami house and the small doors/house decoration made me love the house even more. There is a 7Eleven a few doors down, super convenient. Compared to other hostels I stayed during my trip to Japan, Takeshi's location is closer to major shopping areas/districts. If you have many small carry-on luggages, I'd suggest you to call a taxi from Sumiyoshi Station (the nearest station to the hostel.) It won't cost much (¥410 for me one way. I called once and made my life so much easier). Otherwise, walking distance from the subway station is manageable.
