Very convenient. I couldn’t believe how quiet the area is. I don’t like prepackaged food sold at convenient stores and prefer eating breakfast at a cafe or restaurant so that was the only downside.
The host is super sweet and nice, I recommend this place for anyone.
The place is great! Pretty close to a station with mutiple lines, the surrounding area isnt namba station but it has the necessities within reach (convenience store, supermarket, couple of dinner spots). (Presumably all rooms but i havent seen the others) my room has adjustable ac and lighting, pretty roomy too. The only real issue I really had was that the wifi stopped working a few days in, but that'll probably be fixed eventually. Oh, and the thinnes s of the mattress takes a little getting used to.
The interior was very homelike and organized. Everything was very clean and the owner was quite nice. The train station and several convenience stores are also just 5 minutes walks away.
