This is a great place to stay. I really enjoyed it. The bath and shower are great. The amenities provided esp. shampoo, conditioner and shower wash were very nice. The kitchen is good (it is an induction top without a grill), microwave, kettle, rice cooker, fridge-freezer. The beds are very comfortable (firm but not rock like) and so is the sofa. It was great having a washing machine and being able to self cater. 2 flights of stairs to the flat. No lift but very doable. I wouldn't recommend it for someone with balance issues as there is no handrail and only one wall for the bottom ~6 steps. Great location, easy access to all sorts of places and lots of handy places close by e.g. 2 supermarkets, 100 yen lawson, 2 train stations and chemist etc. Good bus connections too. Also a very good yamato transport (kuroneko takkyubin) within an easy 10 minute walk with luggage (~800m). Host and co-host were very helpful and responsive. It was an absolute pleasure to stay here.
