Stay was great as long as you know what to expect. The house itself is fantastic, very spacious and functional, configurable with sliding doors and many rooms, modern shower/bathroom etc. Just make sure you understand this is in the further outskirts of Japan, which is still near a subway station but will be further away from everything and have more bugs/wildlife around (not a bad thing, just something to keep in mind if you are expecting a more urban setting). You're also basically neighbors with the host and her family, so quiet hours, etc all apply. Just a heads up for those expecting more a place all to themselves to do whatever they want - it's not that kind of place. It's very much more like staying over at a friend's place, where you are both mindful and helping out with taking care of things. Host is very kind and accommodating, but as other reviewers stated, you are expected to help clean the place on the last day (to make sure to budget a few hours in your schedule). Overall enjoyed the stay and would recommend it as long as you're not the kind of person who expects hotel kind of living.
