I was really surprised by the experience we got . It truly feels like you live in a japanese neighborhood.
First of all. The Host is the nicest host i’ve ever had. She texted me before i went to japan. So we could get to know each other more before we check in. She even helped us with the confusing train system and gave us recommendations were to go. She is super flexible and if you had a question she answered it immediately. She even offered to clean our clothes. From me she gets the best host award.
Secondly the room. Its bigger than i ever expected. It is a traditional japanese room. It may have only one downside that the doors are really thin since it is literally made of paper, so you have to be careful not to put a hole in it. The room was really clean and in best shape.
3rd Remember! This is not a Hotel . So don‘t expect to have the privacy like a hotel. There are also other guest in the house, so you have to share a bathroom , toilet with them . Good thing is those are separate. You may have to wait sometimes. And you should be quiet at night since the walls are thin . In the end what do you expect. I mean for 20-30 dollars per night in tokyo, this is probably the best deal you can get!
Overall a great experience! I could sleep well . Get ready on time and felt welcome with such a nice host. What do you want more ?!
