Although my accommodation was through Airbnb, I cannot pass up the opportunity to review this great place, it is very nice, the decoration is very original and beautiful, it is very comfortable and they care a lot about making you feel welcome.Regarding the location, although it seems that it is very between streets, it is super well connected and you can easily find transportation to any point from any of the central avenues, it is close to supermarkets, places to eat and an onsen.I am sure that if you choose this place to stay, you will not regret it.

Loved staying here, comfortable and the hosts help so much to make you feel at home. They were super accommodating to having a baby there with offering a high chair and good recommendations on where to go. A few wonderful restaurants just around the corner and wonderful neighborhood to walk through. Would definitely stay here again.

Modern, clean, cozy accommodations. The bed, blanket, pillow, and sheets are high quality, offering a deep restful sleep. Host, Yusuke, is extremely helpful and flexible in check-in and check-out times. Bus #9 connects you to the North to South of the city along the “Horikawa” roadway, running from about 6:30 am to 11 pm.
