The location of the house is very convenient (both the JR and Hankyu Line are a 5minute walk away!), the people who live here are very kind, respectful and cheerful, by staying here I learned a lot about Japanese people and the Japanese language. Interaction with other guests is fun, we made good memories together! Issui-kun is a cheerful child who brings all people together as a new big family :)
Hide-san and Mari-san are genuinely interested in getting to know their guests and involve them in initiatives and activities, thanks to them I was able to have many new experiences.
In the house there is the right balance between privacy in your room and having fun with the other people who live here.
It's the right place!
