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).

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

가성비 좋은 편한 숙소~~
설명대로 잘 갖추어진 숙소였어요. 다소 작은 느낌이었지만 사용에는 전혀 불편함이 없었어요.
