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

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.

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。
