Very convenient! Everything is handy. There are 7-11, supermarket and diners around. The bus stop is quite close however it takes around 10 minutes to get to Sumiyoshi station and another 5 minutes to actually get on the train. (Those who carry large suitcases should pay more attention and they have to carry them upstairs) Three hosts are very responsive and helpful though I haven't met them in person. Overall, it is great for budget traveller!
