The host(s) are very communicative and quick to reply. The space is very clean. Travellers not used to small Japanese spaces, or older Japanese buildings should take note: the unit is best for a single or couple (the spare mattress only fits inside the closet), the unit is not soundproof so you can hear everything your neighbours do. It is above a restaurant. The entrance from the street is a smoking spot-lots of cigarette butts and some garbage and there was an overflowing garbage receptacle outside my door. Stayed with a small child and would not recommend doing so.
