Pleasant apartment in great location

The flat is more spacious than I expected and we appreciated the washer and balcony equipped for drying clothes. The kitchen area is very small so it was hard to cook. The futons were very comfortable on the mezzanine level and, although the fan helped, it was very hot during the summer to sleep as the a/c does not reach that high. Location was excellent for exploring Kumamoto

Overall good stay for 2 nights

The host was responsive And helpful! Overall it was a good stay except for some items...The room was much smaller than in the pictures. The shower head was super strong and hArd to use. The floor in the place was not the cleanest (hair and dust everywhere).

Good location with 5-8min walk from bus terminal. The unit is compact with all amenities inlcuding a small kitchen, full size fridge and washing machine. Condition of cooking utensil is excellent. Very efficient communication with the host. The only down side is that the heating is not very efficient. I stayed in a not-so-cold day (10 degrees), it still take hours to warm up the room, to an extent that i dont feel freezing, but still I need to put on my sweater to keep myself warm.

清潔感があって街までも近く、便利でよかったです。ただベッドのスプリングがだいぶ年季が入っているのかなという感じで少し残念でした。あとは壁が薄いようで隣の部屋の声も聞こえるので、こちらの声や音も響くんだろうなと思って気になりましたが、トータル的には満足でした。お世話になりました。

３連泊したが、コーヒー等３泊分あると良かった。歯ブラシが出てなくて、歯磨きができなかった。洗濯機があるのに、ハンガーが、少なくて干せなかった。スリッパか無いので、足がベタついて気持ち悪かった。布団、マットレスは固めではあったか、良かった。掃除はきれいにしてあった。部屋からお城が見えて良かった。お城まで、12.3分なので歩いても問題ないし、サクラマチまでも苦になる距離ではないが、バス停は、遠くて使うことはなかった。スーツケース等大荷物を、持っての移動は大変だった。車をレンタルしたのなら、コインパーキングが、とても近いので便利だろうと思った。
