An apartment right in the middle of Motomachi's shopping street (arcades), (a bit hard to find). Everything would have been fine up to that point. But the service was extremely poor. We arrived to find the doors locked and hadn't received any message with the access code. We tried calling but couldn't reach anyone, and eventually we got the access code (which was wrong). After hours, someone happened to go out, and then we were able to get in. From then on, everything went smoothly.

It was compact, clean, and comfortable. However, I was bothered by a slightly unusual smell at the entrance.

Located in the fourth section of the Motomachi Shopping Street, with 100-yen shops and convenience stores nearby, it's very convenient to have such a space in the city center. Our family of four stayed for five days, and we even had a bathtub; we didn't have any problems with running out of water.

Horrible! How absurd is it to want to take a hot shower and not have hot water after midnight! There was no information about this! I do not recommend it!

The apartment I rented had no hot water after midnight, so I contacted the owner and he told me to take a bath at the spa. There's no point in renting a place that doesn't even provide the basic necessities of life.

I would not recommend this hotel as the hot water supply is cut off after midnight, I contacted the hotel and they told me there was a spa nearby where hot water was available.
