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).

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

Excellent Stay!
The owner communicated very well. We left items behind accidentally and they held them for us. The owner was the sweetest person.

ベッドやキッチンが清潔で心地よく過ごせました。周りは静かな住宅街ですが、近くの路面電車の音がきこえます。気になる人は気になるかも。掃除はいきとどいてましたが、トイレの換気扇のほこりだけ気になりました。他はとてもよかったです。熊本ラーメンとコーヒーをおいてくれていました。ありがとう！

8/10 Very good

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。
