Amazing location. Close to two stations, two supermarkets, convenience stores, and also somewhat reasonably close to an AnytimeFitness, if you already have a membership and want to work out.
The hosts are very kind and friendly, and hospitable. We mostly kept to ourselves during our stay but luckily got to see and pet the cats when we went upstairs to use the fridge.
The bathroom is beautiful and the shower is one of the best I’ve ever used. It is shared with the hosts, however, so if you know your morning or evening schedule in advance, you can let them know and take your shower/bath before or after the hosts. Otherwise, you may have to wait until they’re done. Although, if you ask, they will tell you to please go ahead and use it.
The beds were futon, Japanese style on the floor, so if you are not used to that, it may take some getting used to. There is a natural tatami and wood smell to the room, so in summer, you may want to air out the room for a few minutes.
One thing to note is that there are two skylights, and a large window, so if you are easily woken up by bright natural light, consider bringing an eye mask with you.
I would definitely stay here again, and recommend it to anyone.
