This is a great place and a great value! I very much enjoyed my stay. The communication during booking and before I arrived was excellent so that I had detailed arrival and entry instructions. All the amenities I needed were there--clean bed linens, towels, bath soap and shampoo, stocked kitchen (including cookware, plates, utensils, good food, and coffee). The place itself is clean, welcoming, and comfortable. There is shared space (kitchen, living room, bathroom) and it was cool to meet some very nice and interesting people staying in other rooms. The separate rooms are secure and private with keypad locks. I also met one of the hosts, Fumiko, briefly, and she was friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.
