Great house, location makes it easy enough to reach other near by attractions. Super practical ammenities and convince stores and pharmacy only a couple minutes walk away.

No complaints really.

Close to the station, a shopping street, a supermarket, pharmacies, and three convenience stores. Away from the classic tourist locations, but only a few stations from the centre of Osaka. Easy to find. The google maps reference is accurate. Property has a small sign out the front, making that first time finding it easier. Keybox instructions were clear, and worked perfectly. Huge amount of space. Two floors, upstairs is a giant room with space for three double beds, plus a small room off the end. Downstairs has kitchen, dinging/lounge room, and wet areas. The floor plan provided is accurate. There's a small upstairs balcony with clothes drying racks. Plenty of powerpoints, easy to recharge phones etc. Lighting is excellent. Lots of spare bedding. We had three people stay, and had loads of spare blankets, pillows etc. Kitchen is fully equipped, plenty of room to cook. Shower water pressure and temperature are superb. Washing machine works well. Toilet has washlet fitted, and has handwashing fitted on top of the cistern. Great use of water! Chairs, table are good and solid. Couches are comfortable. Photos of the place are accurate. The decorating is quirky but fun. Made me feel comfortable staying there. The apartment has an instruction book for all the appliances, printed out in English. Made using things so much easier, thank you!

Stairs are steep, with a low handrail. Take your time going up and down. Beds were very firm. Probably ok for locals, but hard for big foreigners. Ended up putting spare futons etc on top of the beds to soften them, and to raise them up from the low bedframes. Couches are too short and narrow to sleep on. A few of the exposed roof beams are low, especially one in the toilet. If you're over 172cm, you'll need to duck when you go to the toilet. You soon get used to it. It's like bowing to the toilet! TV only seems to connect to Amazon. No local channels. No heating, but there was a traditional kotatsu table set up with a heater, and a blanket around it. Good if you can sit in seiza, not so handy if you can't. No views, but you're in a quiet suburban area, so no views expected.

時計があるといい。 お風呂に椅子がほしい。 入り口をもう少しきれいにするといい。
