The room is as shown in pictures, it was cozy and modern. I love the quilt, it’s so soft and comfortable! What I was pleasantly surprised was how clean and nice the shared bathroom was. I didn’t feel uncomfortable using the bathroom. Prior to coming, I’ve read abt the narrow stairways so I’ve packed what I needed into a smaller suitcase and it wasn’t an issue for me. Only downside for me was that I had to pay an additional 1000 yen /day for the parking provided which I felt was expensive as I was only parking for the night.
Large and spacious rooms, very clean. Shared kitchen and bathroom, which were all, again, very spacious and clean. Two thumbs up! They even provide a hair straightener / curler. Nice, homely feel, very comfortable. Very enjoyable stay. The only and biggest downside is that the flight of stairs to your room is extremely steep and narrow. Do not underestimate the inconvenience of carrying a luggage up 3-4 flights of tight and narrow stairs. It’s dangerous and tiring. “It’s ok, I’m young and strong, a few stairs aren’t going to bother me, right?” NO, you have no idea. 10/10 must stay if you travel light / drive / carry a heavy luggage but have a good life insurance policy.
