Juliet having the superhost title is not just for show! We really appreciate how quick and responsive she was to our messages. What a welcoming host, I would love to stay here again.
1. Parking. Though it may seem narrow, we were able to perfectly park in two cars. Just note that if you park all the way in to where the gate is, exiting the car will be a tight squeeze because of the limited space you're allowed to open your door.
2. Interior. The house itself is pretty much just as advertised in the photos, except the sofa room you see in the refrigerator/oven photo is actually the twin bedroom. It was probably an old outdated photo before the twin bed was added. As for my first impression of the home, it was nice and cozy for the amount of people we had (5). The cleanliness was an A+. Furniture was easily movable, which we appreciated. The queen bed I slept in (master) had a medium firmness to it which I personally liked. All amenities listed were provided.
3. Utilities. The AC worked really well and air goes throughout the house. We had no problems with the water, toilet, refrigerator, or kitchen sink garbage disposal. On the last day, we cooked dinner and did not experience any problems with the stove. The over-the-range microwave ventilation worked fine, but we were cooking a lot of meat and it required more ventilation, so we had to open the backyard door to let out the smell and smoke. The microwave itself also worked as intended. Lights stayed well lit and all switches were working. Last but not least, the internet had a nice speed despite all of our devices connected to it.
4. Location. The location couldn't be better! You're within walking distance to many restaurants, stores, and SJ's Japan town! Nothing better than saving money on gas during times like this... so I'm glad we were able to find things to do just by walking and using our stamina.
A great experience overall! Thank you Juliet for renting out a conveniently located cozy bungalow to us! -H
