Takeshi and Mayu were wonderful hosts! They replied quickly to our inquiries and gave detailed instructions on how to get to their place and how to use the amenities. Rooms were clean and beds/pillows were very comfortable. Hostel is located beside a convenience store, in a neighborhood with a lot of little restaurants you can explore. It's a 5-10 min walk from Sumiyoshi station which may seem like a bit if you're tired, but it's close enough. They also have Sake nights towards the weekend! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Thank you Takeshi and Mayu! From Scratch felt like home. :)
