彼女と睡眠時間たっぷりよく寝れた！！

9.0

旅館、ホテルと違い風変わりな旅を楽しめると思います。 普段生活している都市ではない街に遊びにいくけど 帰ってくるのは自宅　の様な気分 自分的に嬉しかったのは お風呂の追い焚き、自動　の他にあった　足し湯　機能 嬉しかったです。

− 特に無いのですが せっかくリノベーションして清潔なので 換気扇フードの埃とお風呂窓のゴムパッキン汚れは 無い方が良いですね。 でも総じてちゃんとしたお部屋で旅の楽しみの一つでしたので満足です！

For the most part, the property is well-furnished. The booking.com description doesn't mention it, but the property has a washer and dryer, which is a big bonus. The bed is a pair of oversized single beds fastened together into a very passable king-sized bed. The bed also had a sort of sheet in between the mattress and the futon, which was the closest thing that we found on our trip to a top sheet. There are several supermarkets and convenience stores within a 5-10 minute walk. There's a Chinese restaurant, Yasuya (安家) about a block away that's inexpensive and very tasty.

− More than a week before I checked in, I saw a charge on my credit card by someone in Boston. This was weird, because me and my family were all in Japan. I thought it was fraudulent. After I checked in I learned that the charge was for this stay. I think that communication about this was poor. The property is in a small apartment building in an old neighborhood. It was difficult to give directions to a taxi driver, even an old local taxi driver, so getting here from the train station was a challenge. We booked room 201 on the second floor. The stairs from the street up to the room were steep and somewhat long; if you have heavy bags or mobility issues, consider this. Next to the front door to the property was a sheet of paper with instructions only in Japanese. The sheet of paper was affixed to a plastic box that contained a tablet computer that you are supposed to use to check in to the property; note that the tablet is completely hidden behind the sheet of paper. When we checked in, the tablet also would not turn on, and so could not be used. Hanging beneath the sheet of paper is a standard lockbox used by realtors around the world to hold keys. Because I could not read the Japanese instructions, could not see the table computer behind the sheet of paper, and could easily see the lockbox, I assumed that I was supposed to use the lockbox to get the key to the unit. Of course, that didn't work as I didn't have the code to the lockbox. My Japanese wife took over and called the number that we had for the management company. After explaining that we couldn't open the lockbox, didn't see the tablet, when we later tried the tablet it didn't work, etc. she was eventually given the code to the lockbox and we were able to enter the property. While the bed was surprisingly large, this left no room to either side of the bed for a table on which to put tissues, a glass of water, a smartphone, etc. No electric outlets near the head of the bed.

A quiet stay

8.0

The apartment was new and very clean. I arrived a bit earlier but the host was here to welcome me. I read in earlier comments that the check-in process was complicated, but if you do it online before arriving it won't be a problem. The place is quite small but enough for 2 people and for a couple of days.

− The area is very quiet, there's a Konbini and a few restaurants within walking distance. But if you don't have a car it's a bit far from the city centre. You'll have to take a bus: the C70 (to the train station) stops nearby but it doesn't run very often. There are more bus stops if you walk ~12 min.

Clean and very quiet. comfortable

8.0

It was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had enough utensils to cook reasonable diners

− I had a challenging check in, but it could have my fault for not reviewing the check in procedure in advance

Overall very good if you want a quiet neighbourhood. Also, arrange checkin prior to arrival.

8.0

The apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

− We found the property difficult to find and the check-in instructions were poor. We did not receive them prior to check-in only when we arrived and then we had to go through the procedure of checking in at the front door which was very challenging.
