The location is pretty much the only good thing about this place, as long as you don't mind a lot of noise and can drag your luggage up 3 flights of very narrow stairs. If you're handicapped, don't even bother looking at this listing. There's so many unmarked steps and fall hazards in the room, you might end up in a wheelchair anyway. There's signs all over the place to keep quiet and that this is a quiet residential neighborhood, but it's on Dotonbori in drunk town where people are shouting and blasting music all night. That was the first sign that this is remotely managed by a cheap, stingy company. This apartment is utterly covered in surprise rules that all have threats of fees attached to them. Used a dish and didn't wash it? 4000 yen. Left a mess? Extra fee. Use more than the one extremely thin, scratchy, small towel they provided per person for a four stay? Extra fee. Use an extra pillow from the closet? Extra fee. Check out late? 6000 yen per hour PLUS an additional mystery fee. The property even requested I empty the trash cans every day and bring them down the three flights of stairs to a collection point, and threatened a fee for trash left in the trash can, where it belongs. There were so many rules sprung on us that weren't listed that I actually contacted customer service. On top of all of this cleaning nonsense and refusal to provide even two towels per person (no dryer, just washer, so can't wash and reuse quickly), the property messaged me with more requests (like emptying the trash cans) at 22:00 the night before check out and then did not respond to my request for clarification before we checked out. This place is definitely run by a distant, stingy company that is charging an absurd premium for the view yet still tries to wring more out of you in surprise rules and fees for violating them. They've since moved to AirBNB where they can charge you an absurd cleaning fee on top of all of this, so be extra wary. I've stayed in bnbs and hotels in over a dozen states and countries (and been to Japan 5 times) and never seen such cheapness. The view is nice, but absolutely cannot recommend for the price.
