The house itself is a nice one, but it's the maintenance + hospitality of the host which makes the stay a less than perfect one.
It's a comfortable place to stay, we enjoyed relaxing and cooking in the house.
However for one of the bedroom, there's an attic window + another window without any curtain, which you would be awoken by natural light every morning.
Also, the light at the bedroom and ventilation fan in the toilet is out of order. However, when I message the host, she just ask me to go to the supermarket to buy and change the light bulb by myself (and reimburse me later) and there's no response/ solution provided for the ventilation fan issue. It's a small issue so I just let go, but I don't think this is a correct attitude as a host...
Also, I feel frustrated when receiving messages from host. I understood it might be the previous experience that caused the host very cautious, but I don't think it's a good way to ask guest to check out 10am sharp, otherwise need to pay 10,000yen to the cleaner...this does not sound very nice.
Lastly, it would be better if there's more hook for hanging clothes + the keybox need to be changed, it's difficult to turn the figures and take out the key. We spent more than 10min to get the key.
