ELIM Private Vacation Home near Umeda Japanese-style Entire 3BR House with Tea Room

The location was convenient, around a 15-minute walk to the main station with easy access into Dotonbori. The host was also very accommodating with an early check-in, which we really appreciated. There was plenty of wardrobe and storage space, which made it much easier to organise our belongings and repack suitcases at the end of the trip.

The layout of the property was not ideal for a group stay. Access to both bathrooms and the washing machine required walking through bedrooms, which reduced privacy and made it inconvenient, especially at night. Although the property is advertised to accommodate up to 8 guests, it was only stocked with 4 plates and 4 towels, and the towels provided were quite small. There were also some practical concerns — the washing machine drains into the outside alley, which led to a confusing interaction with a neighbour, and there was a noticeable sewer smell throughout the stay. Additionally, the upstairs toilet is located outside on the balcony, which was difficult to use in wet weather. It would be very helpful if a clear floor plan or layout was included in the listing to better set expectations for future guests.
