Our family of 3 adults stayed in this beautiful home for 7 nights. The construction and furnishings are beautiful. The bedrooms are both upstairs and because I’ve recently had some balance issues, I stayed downstairs on a very comfortable sofa sleeper. We enjoyed our stay and our host Rambo was an excellent communicator. We appreciated the instruction folder for using appliances. The washer/dryer is one machine and consequently has many buttons in Japanese. We couldn’t have used it without the translated instructions. We liked the location of the home and grew fond of the neighborhood. It was a good home base for exploring Osaka, Kyoto,Nara and Kobe.

Wonderful stay! Host was extremely welcoming and helpful. The space was very clean and well equipped. I highly recommend this house!
Property is newly renovated so it is nice. Nearest train station is 7-8 minutes and bus stop is almost the same walking distance. Host is quick to respond with email and very helpful with communication on how to navigate the property location via train. Location is a bit far from Dotonbori, USJ, and Expo so not recommended stay for guests with small children or elderly. Dining around the surrounding area becomes limited as they closed early. Closest grocery store closes at 7pm. Be mindful with adding last minute unplanned guest once done with booking the property to avoid high nigtly surcharge.

The house had everything we needed for a 2 night stay. It was clean, comfortable, and in a quiet neighbourhood. Less than a 10 minute walk from the subway station. Rambo was accommodating when we were in the area early and met us to check us in and show us around.

Amazing Stay in Osaka
Rambo, the landlord, made our stay incredible. We had a party of 5 and it was cozy but perfectly spacious. The location is great, close enough to easily go around Osaka but not so close that everything was crowded. We loved going to the walking distance bakery and shops. Rambo was exceptionally communicative and went over the top to make us comfortable with excellent English as well. I would highly recommend this stay especially for a first trip to Japan as it was a great start for us newcomers. Will be recommending this place to my friends!

Nice Base
To start with the owner of the property gets 10 stars! My trip to Japan was for personal reasons and this house was close to everything I wanted to do. The property/house that i stayed in, is a nice little place by western standards. For one American it is fine two is getting a little small but having two stories makes it just fine. I really enjoyed having the washing machine to do laundry. Because my stay was over 30 days that feature made this fell like home. The house is a 15 minute walk from a major mall (Aeon Mall) 5 minutes from a wall street shopping area and plenty of food restaurants local and western style. The house is located in a mixed neighborhood of light industrial and residential AND STILL very quite with a 5 minute walk to the train station. From this location it took me 35 minutes to get from door to Osaka Tower, just over 1 hour to get to Kyoto and if you are a racing fan just over 2:15 minutes to get to Suzuka race track if you don't miss your train connection like I did witch then took me 3 hours to get their. It is about 3 miles or 5k to Osaka Cas Ryuji Hishiya (Rambo) the owner is easy to talk to and a great individual as well as his wife. they both speak excellent English and are very warm and welcoming. My only really down side to my stay was dealing with VRBO and its website I had a problem with the payment to Rambo it was the site not Rambo but once it was resolved everything was fine. I will be going back to Japan and visit my new friends.
