Serenite Nippombashi

Location. Spacious. Kitchen.

Smell and flies.

房間很大，離道頓崛心齋橋都很近，附近有兩間超市，離地鐵也只要5-10分鐘。

電梯有點老舊也有味道，熱水有熱但不大穩

We chose this place due to its proximity from the JR Shinkansen train line from the Osaka airport and also its location to the shopping / market district. We stayed only 1 one night, arrived in the late afternoon (around 3-4pm), so we didn't get to explore much of Osaka. It was also very hot during June, so we had to take our time to cool down. On the plus side, it was a little outside the tourist areas near the local residential area, so the surrounding neighbourhood was quiet. You were also walking distance from all the shopping districts, the canal, and attractions. The unit had a balcony that they set up to hang out your wet laundry if you did any washing, and they also had a washer inside their unit, which was helpful.

In the hallway, it looked like there are different hotel / short-term stay owners for each suite in this building. Our particular unit on the 6th was ok. Although the unit functioned ok, it was dirty and dusty. Towels were old, crunchy, and discoloured. The bath mat looked like it was never washed. When we picked it up, there were pubes and hair from another guest that fell out. In the bedroom / living, it had a slight dank smell due to lack of ventilation and not sure how often the owners washed the bedsheets. The rooms were dusty and the AC unit was loud so we had to raise its temperature at night so we didn't hear too much of the gurgling noise. The floor between the wall and bathroom vanity sink didn't look like it was ever cleaned - there was layer of black dust, hair and garbage in that 3" space.
