• YURAGI (8/5): -
• Alba (8/5): - Es ampli pel que sol ser la norma a Japó. Tenia lo indispensable per tenir una estada agradable.
• LEE (7/5): - 立地はすごくいいです。 清潔感はなかった、水回りの匂いは気になります。
• sreyash (10/5): -
• Aryna (7/5): Great location, very spacious for japanese standards. Just unfortunately the bathroom smells and there are flies from dr - Location. Spacious. Kitchen. Smell and flies.
• Chiara (7/5): - Camera spaziosa ma edificio (come moltissimi in zona) lascia a desiderare. La camera è separata dalla zona bagno e toilette, dalla zona bagno purtroppo usciva uno sgradevole odore di fogna. Manca il frigorifero nonostante ci sia una piccola cucina. Posizione ottima.
• Kollin (4/5): - The location of the stay There were 2 roaches in the bathroom

• Victor (5/5): Decent one-night stay, but cleanliness is lacking. - We chose this place due to its proximity from the JR Shinkansen train line from the Osaka airport and also its location to the shopping / market district. We stayed only 1 one night, arrived in the late afternoon (around 3-4pm), so we didn't get to explore much of Osaka. It was also very hot during June, so we had to take our time to cool down. On the plus side, it was a little outside the tourist areas near the local residential area, so the surrounding neighbourhood was quiet. You were also walking distance from all the shopping districts, the canal, and attractions. The unit had a balcony that they set up to hang out your wet laundry if you did any washing, and they also had a washer inside their unit, which was helpful. In the hallway, it looked like there are different hotel / short-term stay owners for each suite in this building. Our particular unit on the 6th was ok. Although the unit functioned ok, it was dirty and dusty. Towels were old, crunchy, and discoloured. The bath mat looked like it was never washed. When we picked it up, there were pubes and hair from another guest that fell out. In the bedroom / living, it had a slight dank smell due to lack of ventilation and not sure how often the owners washed the bedsheets. The rooms were dusty and the AC unit was loud so we had to raise its temperature at night so we didn't hear too much of the gurgling noise. The floor between the wall and bathroom vanity sink didn't look like it was ever cleaned - there was layer of black dust, hair and garbage in that 3" space.
• Grace (4/5): I unfortunately would not come back. - Location was decent. The pillows smelled used. It smelled like sewage throughout our whole stay, it was pretty bad. No utensils in the kitchen. No body mirrors. The stay was not that cheap either. :(
• Yasi̇n (7/5): Good -
• Paulo (9/5): Superb -
• Isaiah (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jarrell (8/5): Very good -
• Ilya (8/5): Several maintenance issues, but very nice overall - The apartment has very nice decor. It's in a quiet street at a walking distance from most of the fun things in Osaka. You can quickly get to Nara or Kyoto from the nearby station without changing trains. The staff were nice and addressed the problems we raised. The shower and the bath were very relaxing. Free umbrellas next to the apartment door. The kitchen is tiny and there are no utensils. There were some maintenance issues when we got there: bad smell from the sewage (which the staff temporarily addressed by spraying air freshener), a lamp that needed replacement (which was addressed), a broken clothes hanging pole (which made it challenging to dry clothes).
• Ellison (6/5): Good for budget, quite minimal - Room looked fresh, great bed size per person, there was Amazon Fire with some free channels from Abema, reasonably close to Dotonbori and metro. Good on a budget. Can be a bit tricky to find the building on Google Maps - just type in "Serenity Osaka". The key was in a lock box as per correspondence, but we arrived when it got dark, so we missed it and got a bit confused about where it was. It's quite minimal in terms of amenities - no slippers or change of towels or sheets during the stay, only one cup and one key between the two of us. While there's Amazon Fire, there were no regular free-to-air channels. Just a remark, we tried the washing machine one time - but still took the clothes to a laundromat to get them dry quickly and easily. Just gotta be careful in the bathroom with the bit of pipe connected to the hot water supply - it's very hot on contact, and there is indeed a hidden label on it to point that out (you can sort of just about see it in one of my photos). Footpath to the place is shared with cars, so need to be careful. In spite of the above, we did manage to get a lot of mileage out of our stay.
