Yuka's place was by far the worst AirBnB that we have ever stayed at - it is because we felt completely duped by the description and pictures of the house. The price we paid for the place (about $350/night - over $6,000 in total) was very high for the condition of the place. We booked the place for 18 days which is a long time to stay at a place with such bad conditions. Please note that the description states as follows: "5-Star Hotel Experience" and a "luxurious house, Japanese atmosphere with well-selected interior, New, modern furnishings, clean linen, and towels--everything is new and clean" - these are completely inaccurate statements. The house is likely an old store that was later converted into a home. It has an extremely awkward layout with the sink outside in the living quarters and a shower room. There is not a full kitchen, but rather just a sink, a small fridge, 2 burners and a microwave. There is no way to make a meal, let a lone a simple breakfast - there is not even a toaster. The sleeping quarters are upstairs by way of a narrow set up stairs. The stairs are so narrow that you can't even bring suitcases upstairs. We had to keep our luggage downstairs and live out of our suitcase for the entire 18 days as there was no closet space. There is also an attic space with futons for sleeping, but the futons were dirty and stained. Only 1 of the beds was comfortable and the rest were hard and had little cushion. There were no brooms or vacuum to periodically clean up the place as those were locked up. I had asked Yuka for the key and she told me the location but one could never be found. The place is a cave with very little natural light. The place is not a good place for kids. My kids slipped and fell twice due to the bad layout of the stairs. The most offensive part was that we were not allowed to throw away our trash and was told to keep it in the house. We asked for the trash to be thrown out, but Yuka's response was that it would cost an extra 2000 yen so that we had to throw out at a designated dumpster which we were unable to find. I don't understand how this host could expect us to live with trash for 18 days. Luckily, some helpful neighbors told us how to throw away the trash on designated days. The only positive about the place was the extremely convenient location. Also, Yuka did respond to my inquiries quickly, however, I did not find her response to be all that helpful (e.g., trash or vacuum cleaner). I would not recommend anyone to stay here.
