About the Hosts:
As a couple who has lived abroad, we are delighted to welcome people from all over the world. If you can't speak Japanese don't worry, we can both speak English. We are committed to providing a low-price, secure and safe accommodation because we too have stayed in cheap hotels and experienced the kindness of host families when we were abroad. That is the reason we started this guest house.
Also we're living 100m away from the guest house, so it’s easy for you to reach us in case of an emergency. Should you feel sick for example, we would take you to the nearest hospital.
Please refrain from smoking inside the apartment, and from doing laundry.
Meals are not provided.
Please do not leave the guest house after 11pm.
チェックイン時間など融通していただき大変助かりました。
この値段でこの広さは、他ではありません。
ホテルでもない、カプセルでもない、1部屋借りの独特さ
クセになります。
Stay Japanへの貴重なコメントに感謝いたします。また、東京にお出での際には、民泊コアラに宿泊してください。
As mentioned in the title, it's a good location. It's not in the center of the city but decently close to different train stations. Very good price for a basic room. Note that the futon was fairly firm which I think is common for Japanese standards. Very communicative host.
Thanks for your nice comments to Stay Japan. Please use our guest house
again.
民宿房間簡單整潔,浴室和洗手間都是跟別人共用的,但大家能保持清潔便沒什麼問題。我去的時候每天溫度都是十度以下,但房間內有暖氣機。由街門進去是一條蠻陡的樓梯,如有重大的行李要小心。
出入很方便,大山站附近很多商店食堂,價錢很合理,選擇很多,附近的Big A買食物水果也很便宜。能由板橋區役所前駅站到東京市中心。
我和我十個月大的寶寶一齊去,寶寶是免費住宿的。房東也很體貼,經常跟我聯絡,確保我們倆個安好。
Thanks for your nice comment to Stay Japan.
We recommend you as guests to
any host. You were very friendly
and polite. Kept your room clean.
お盆期間中で2名、1泊で利用させていただきました。
駅から10分とのことでしたが、商店街を通っていくので10分を感じることなく楽しく宿にたどり着きました。
お部屋も清潔で、WI-FI完備。冷房も快適。
広いお部屋だったので、窮屈さもなく贅沢に過ごさせていただきました。
またぜひ利用させてください。タオルが必要な場合は前もってリクエストしたら用意してくれます。そちらも大変助かりました。
後は前に滞在していた方たちがおいて行ってくれたスプーンや洗顔、歯磨き粉などもあったので、忘れた方などは利用できると思います。
伊東様、早々のクチコミを頂き、ありがとうございました。これから、民泊コアラにリクエストを考えているゲストの方々への貴重な情報になりますね。また、東京にお出での際には利用してください。オーナー熊沢和志&敏子
