I had a really positive stay at Brenda's. She is nice and accommodating. We had a small talk one afternoon and it just felt like she is a friend instead a host. Also can I just say boo is the sweetest dog ever!! The room is very small but you got everything you need for a single traveller. The room is well decorated and I feel a sense of culture over there. It's very easy to get around there and tons of cafes and restaurants (two of the really good ones I tried is right across the street: Eiji and kitchen story). Overall, a very pleasant stay!
