I truly loved staying in this location! The house was in a perfect, quiet neighborhood right next to plenty of great restaurants, a grocery store and a short 8 minute walk to the train station.
Yukari was an absolutely incredible host. He answered quickly when ever I had a question and even let us keep our luggage at the house after checkout so we could fit in a couple more hours of exploring before we had to be at the airport for a late flight.
There were no major issues with our stay, and while I loved the lovely home, it is not actually 6 bedrooms, there are 3 separate rooms, 2 are set up with futons, and one large room that takes up a whole floor with 4 beds arranged in it. This is not a problem, but the listing was somewhat misleading in this aspect. However, my friends and I were very comfortable, enjoyed having our own space, and the bedding arrangement did not affect our stay. We were very comfortable.
My main concern was the cleanliness of the house. It was mostly clean, but again it was nothing that drastically affected our stay. There is normal wear and tear that one would expect in a house, such as scuffed walls and floors, but what stuck out to us is that it is very apparent whomever cleans the home either does so very quickly and misses quite a bit or doesn’t care to do a thorough clean. Specifically, there was mold around some fixtures/door in the shower room, there was aged urine still stuck to the underside of the toilet in an upstairs restroom and aged urine splashed on the wall in the downstairs bathroom and the most concerning was a splattering of what I can only assume was dried white bodily fluids my friend had the misfortune of discovering when she was getting into bed on the first night of our stay. It was apparent that the bedding had not been cleaned from a previous guest(s).
This could absolutely be a one time thing, perhaps the bedding was assumed to be unused when the cleaner went through, but it was rather gross to discover. At the time, my friend simply switched beds, as we had checked in very late, and it wasn’t timely to make efforts to rectify the situation at that time. Before my two friends and I checked out, we did strip the beds that we used so the cleaner was aware which beds had been used. The checkout process was easy, and we made our best effort to leave the home better than we found it
Overall, I loved staying here, it is a great home in a great location and Yukari was so very accommodating and helpful. I would absolutely recommend this home, just let Yukari know if something is not up to your standard and I’m certain that he will make it right!
