Nana is a fantastic hostess, she came out to meet me at the JR station when I got lost finding the place. She responds to your messages very quickly and is fluent in English. None of the other girls at the house were any good with English, but they were all very friendly and tried to say hello. They're practically a family; some of the girls would gather around the TV around dinner time and eat together. The only part you should note is that some of these residents live here long-term and the rooms are a complete cluster. If you don't mind the small space and want a bit more "authentic" Japanese experience, this is a great place for its price.
