Nikko Dream House

It was a nice tipycal Japanese house. Had all the commodities, accessible 15min by foot from train station. Host answered quickly our questions.

It was difficult to find keys from the house, the neighbourhood was pretty dark and electricity stopped when we used microwave and electric stove.

Cosy, easy access to supermarket, food. There even have a map to share all the near by facilities, food and place of interest.

I am a solo traveller. So i use one room. There are 2 rooms. One of the room has an air con but the other does not have one installed. If it is going to be winter, and you have 2 couples. The other room, which want privacy, wouldnt have sufficient warm even though there is a portable mini heater. Lighting for the second room is dimmer. Overall, all the items mentioned in the booking are available and in working condition.

Sehr große Wohnung, in Großstädten wie Tokio würde man nur davon Träumen. Die Küche ist voll ausgestattet. Bis zur Haltestelle muss man ca 10 bis 15min laufen. In Supermarkt gibt es nur am Bahnhof. Liegt in einer ruhigen Nachbarschaft. Wir haben die Zeit erwischt, wo die Frösche in der Nacht ein kostenloses Konzert veranstaltet haben. Die Wohnung war sauber.

Eine detailliertere Beschreibung wie man den Schlüssel bekommt wäre super, wir haben 15min gebraucht und sahen deswegen sehr verdächtigt aus, vorallem weil es bereits dunkel war.

Privacy. Mattress was comfortable. And spacious for two.

1. Wire dangled off the counter, unsure if it was safe. 2. Distance from Imaichi Station to Dream House (with luggage) took us at least 15 minutes walk, each way. That's far and a challenge. Coming back to the apartment at night was very dark and scary. And staying for 3D2N was not exactly pleasant. Reviews on Booking.com was not accurate. 3. Property has no torchlight for loan, we ended up buying our own. It would be better to have a pocket torch for a loan. At least a 450lumens to see what's in front of us! Yeah...that dark. The owner said, "No torchlight. Thank you for your kind understanding?!" The walk to/fro lodging and Imaichi Station after 5pm were dark. Train frequency between Imaichi and Nikko is between 45minutes to an hour 😱😱. If I knew it earlier .... gosh!! 4. There was no detergent for washing despite having a washer. 5. No dryer and having our laundry to dry was a pain in such cold weather. 6. There was no convenient store to get simple necessities, only a restaurant across the street! 7. Extra pillows would be great. Comforter has a little "musky" smell. 8. Overly enthusiastic owner, but only for the part BEFORE we stayed in with repeated text messages. But right afterwards, we were left to our own device and struggles. The remark of "Hope for your kind understanding." - That felt like a slap to the face. 9. I was reminded to leave the premises the night before with timing, and I felt like we're being chased out. 10. After staying in, the response from the owner was less consistent. I had requested support for cab booking but it took a long while before the owner responded, so we left and did that 15 minutes walk and struggled with sand and gravels on our luggage wheels that felt like pushing a rock but soldiered through because we couldn't afford missing our train back to Tokyo... the frequency sucks!!! 11. Cab ride was ¥500-¥600 from Imaichi Station to...
