Pros:
- Location: relatively close to sites of interest, with most places being within 15-20 minutes of a JR train ride. The train station is also quite close to the apartment, and there is an abundance of convenience stores and shops if you need food. Also if you are taking the skyliner from Narita, her apartment is only 2 stops down from nippori station.
- Space: just enough for 2 people. Would be tight for 3. Cute space with thoughtful touches. Floor was clean.
- Amenities: Has pretty much everything you need, including a washing machine. Bed was comfortable enough too, except the pillows.
- Host: Miyuki is very responsive and generous as a host. She is also personable and makes recommendations specific to the timing of your trip eg. She let us know there was a summer festival going on for the week we were there. Overall, she is a great host and we had no problems communicating with her.
Overall, value for money.
Cons:
- Location: Please note no lift, it is fine for young people but the elderly might struggle with luggage because the stairs are narrow and steep. Area might be quiet at night for solo young women.
- Amenities: Everything was fine except the ironing board which was stained and did not look clean. If you don't need to iron it probably doesn't matter.
