The good: This rental was very clean and very close to a major train station and lots of Vietnamese and Korean dining options. The host always responded quickly and allowed a last minute booking with a late night check-in.
The bad: This rental was overpriced for the accommodation, which was very spartan (brushing your teeth in the “kitchen” sink, next to the table, standing in the entry way. Hanging your wet laundry to dry above the toilet, essentially. Was allowed an extension for late check-out at 11am (at the latest) for an additional 1,000 Yen. The charge is understandable but don’t expect to sleep in on checkout day.
This accommodation was ideal for a minimalist traveler but not a minimalist budget.
