Kentaro was so kind - regularly checked in on me to make sure I was alright and left a bottle of water and chocolates in the fridge for my arrival. The biggest help though, was that I was able to drop my bags off early as I had returned from Kyoto about an hour prior to check-in.
Bed is super comfy - I actually want to buy those sheets and pillows if I can find out where they are from. Place was a bit smaller than I had imagined, but had everything you'd need and was actually a great use of a small space. And slightly thrown off by needing to look after own garbage (separating and disposing) and stripping beds/bathroom of sheets/towels for the laundry as there is a cleaning fee. Overall, though, not enough to deter me from staying again as I found the communication easy and location ideal.
