10/10 Exceptional

This was our favorite apartment accomodation in Japan. Very comfortable and enough space for 2 and in a great location. We could walk to the station and to the city center and castle. The small kitchen was fine for making a small breakfast and coffee. And we really appreciated the wash machine and drying rack! Check in worked exactly as described. Highly recommended!

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.

宿泊先の専用駐車場はありませんが、24時間定額パーキングが近くにあり助かりました。宿泊前のやり取りもメールで何度かさせていただきましたが、返信も早くチェックイン〜アウトまでトラブルなくスムーズに行うことが出来大変満足です。

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。

잘 머무르다 갑니다.

4식구 가족여행으로 편안하게 잘 쉬다 갑니다. 세탁기가 있어, 집에 널어놓으니 잘 마르고, 기본적인 식기류가 있어서 좋았습니다.

ベッドやキッチンが清潔で心地よく過ごせました。周りは静かな住宅街ですが、近くの路面電車の音がきこえます。気になる人は気になるかも。掃除はいきとどいてましたが、トイレの換気扇のほこりだけ気になりました。他はとてもよかったです。熊本ラーメンとコーヒーをおいてくれていました。ありがとう！

8/10 Very good

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。
