The location of this home is very convenient for those who are planning on utilizing Japan’s public transit system. The train station is only about a 5 minute walk from here and the neighbors surrounding the home are welcoming and quiet. Lots of surrounding convenience stores, fast food restaurants and vending machines.

Unfortunately, there were a few hiccups we came across during our stay. The directions provided to get to the home were unclear and hard to follow; to be more specific- the directions as well as the house guide were provided in only Japanese, which made it very difficult for us as foreigners to Japan to understand and navigate. There were bugs in the house and everyone experienced bug bites during our stay here. We sent photos of the bugs we found in the home to the host, hoping that she would come during our stay to tidy up but received no response at all. The towels and linens provided were subpar - very thin and felt dirty to the touch. The kitchen sink was not cleaned, there was old food left in the sink drain which left a strange odor on the second floor of the home. The pocket WiFi provided was unreliable and constantly died regardless of how frequently we would charge it. The WiFi router in the home was also very slow and often crashed during use. We made note of all the issues we came across during our stay and made several attempts to contact the host, none in which did she respond. Overall, we enjoyed our visit to Osaka but would have preferred to return from our long days of exploring the city to a clean home. 2 stars for the location of the home, 1 star for cleanliness and inability to reach the host during our stay.
