The Good
Close to train station, convenience stores and small supermarket.
Local Sento is nice.
Beds are very comfortable.
Great internet and smart TV.
Not So Good
The property is way smaller than it looks on Airbnb.
The kitchen, laundry, toilet and bathroom open on to each other. This would be okay for a couple, but for a family it is very difficult, particularly getting ready to go out or cooking dinner at night.
The toilet room is so small that my legs hit the door when closed, so I had to have the toilet door open to redress.
The bathroom is a wet room so you need to use the kitchen area to get dressed which renders the kitchen off limits while people get dressed.
The front ‘lounge’ room is okay for two people, too cramped for four.
Finally, the staircase is incredibly steep, the steepest I have come across, hard work for someone with knee issues or young kids.
I would recommend this for couples, not families.
