Sophie and Kotaro are a wonderful team. Sophie is great with communication before, during and after my short stay. Kotaro greeted me when I arrived and showed me around the home which is comfortable and tidy. The cozy room I booked with a twin bed, desk, good wifi and private balcony suited my needs perfectly. Although it was a cloudy weekend, there was plenty of natural light that came into the room, shared living room and kitchen which I like. There were other guests staying, but they were quiet, and I hardly noticed them around. Cafes, restaurants, grocery stores, the waterfront and a train station are within walking distance. Sophie is a friendly host and truly wants to make sure you have a pleasant stay.
