Rin and her mother are extremely nice and accommodating! The place is immaculate and provides smart use of space. We were out exploring the sites all day and really appreciated the daily housekeeping and cozy place to come home to. The smart toilet is interesting to use. The shower provides hot water and really good water pressure. Everyone takes their shoes off upon coming in, which is more a positive as it keeps the place clean. We went in November but used the air conditioner. It worked great but we can't attest to heating features. The bed is comfy. It's a small and homey place with 5 rooms so the space is tight and the walls are thin but their guests are generally really considerate and keep the noise down, as requested by the host. Laundry is offered at a small fee. About 4-6 min. walk to the nearest train station, which was useful. Rin was so helpful with advice and provided us a map to nearby attractions. Clearly, we enjoyed our stay and would come back the next time we visit!
