Cons: - No waiter. You have to know Japanese. I'm lucky because I met really nice guys who helped me out (he speaks English very well). Thank you so much! - No way to contact the owner to get the key. - No hotel sign (like a normal apartment). - The owner rarely responds, not active. (My experience) You really should rent a hotel with a waiter if this is your first time in Japan. - Pricey, but good local. There are people willing to help, but you have to know Japanese. - Weird noise sometimes. Pros: - Very clean. Have a kitchen, laundry machine. - Feel like you live in Japan as a citizen. - The atmosphere is good.
