We checked in late afternoon as per the listing but could only get keys to our room after 9pm which did make locking up our things a bit inconvenient as we were not aware we were sharing the house with six other rooms. We ended up locking the room from the inside to go out at 5pm and then messaged Ryo asking for the latest time to get our room key because we were not likely to be back by 9pm. We did not hear back until a few hours later (just before we decided to return). It worked out in the end but there was a level of unusual uncertainty
Our bedroom was very clean but smelled musty. A private set of crockery and cutlery were provided, and we really appreciated having and being responsible for our own cutlery and crockery.
Floors in the common areas were also always immaculately clean. The common bathroom was not as clean — the walls, ceiling and shower head had black mould and grime. Shared refrigerator could do with a wipe inside as it was getting grimy too.
The guest who stayed next door left behind what looked like several days worth of pizza boxes in the room when he checked out, but the staff only removed them a day later. It seems garbage removal may not be that frequent so we were a bit concerned leftover food would attract insects and pests.
