Our stay at Sean's place was good. The location is close to a nearby station, but you do need to transfer to reach any destination. The communication was great, Sean is very responsive and replied always in a timely manner. However, we never communicated with the person on the listing, Hanako. There are stairs to climb to enter the apartment and also steep stairs inside the home to access the second floor, so do keep that in mind if you are bringing in suitcases or have difficulty with stairs. The ceiling is quite low on the first floor, we had a few bumps happen while we were there. But this should be expected in a traditional Japanese home. Expect the bathrooms to be extremely small as well. We added a shower curtain to the second floor shower as all showers were fully open. Cleanliness could be improved, the kitchen had the basics available, and the washer was easy to use (image translate came to the rescue to get the instructions sorted). Everything look like in the photos.
