The pros: Riko’s place is in a great location—very close to the station and in a really fun neighborhood with tons of great shops and restaurants. I also love her lockbox system so you don’t need to worry about carrying a key around. Riko is also very quick to respond whenever you send her a message.
The cons: Being as close to the train station as this place is, you get a lot of noise from the trains passing by and the announcements on the platform. Definitely something to be aware of if you’re sensitive to noise.
Also, I had a largish suitcase and Riko wouldn’t let me store it at her place for a few hours after checkout, which was a bit stressful. There are coin lockers at the station nearby but they don’t have ones that were big enough to fit my suitcase. I also asked for help calling a taxi, explaining that I had a lot of luggage, and she told me it wasn’t possible and that I should just go outside and get the taxi myself. I felt that compared to some of my other Airbnb experiences Riko wasn’t as accommodating in that sense, so just be sure to pack lightly or arrange your own place to store your suitcase!
