Youko’s apartment is nice and was very clean which we appreciated. It is in a good location just a few minutes walk from the station and with a supermarket and plenty of restaurants and convenience stores close by. Youko was very helpful and promptly answered all the questions I sent in advance and also reponded quickly when we needed another towel. Unfortunately, the sound insulation between Youko’s flat and the flat above is poor so we could clearly hear all conversations, footsteps and general movement from the flat above. This happened every evening and continued until late into the night, and in one case until well past 1 a.m. We found it disturbing so it is something to consider if you are bothered by outside noise.
