Liu’s apartment totally met our needs. When we arrived, we noticed that there wasn’t an elevator to the second floor (where the apartment is located), but before we could think about carrying up our luggage, Liu and her husband brought three of our suitcases (two were very heavy) up the stairs and into the apartment. This was also late at night, as we arrived later than expected.
We traveled with our 18-month old toddler, so we were a bit nervous about how noisy the neighborhood would be, or how noisy the apartment building would be. Well, for six nights, we found that it was very quiet and peaceful. Our little guy was able to nap and sleep without issue.
It should be noted that Liu and her husband are especially thoughtful. They not only provided us with tangerines and strawberry daifuku on our first night, but they also gave our little guy some gifts that really made the stay (and the whole trip) extra special. We will not forget their hospitality and generosity.
