The property is on the older, but very functionable. It was great having 3 bedrooms for a family of 5 and there were attractions, supermarkets, transport and restaurants very close-by. It is approx 30mins away from central Osaka by train. There was a washing machine but no drying facility other than the balcony. The TV only supported local TV and we were unable to connect our laptop to it. We had an incident on check-in whereby there was another family in our room. They got the room numbers confused and managed to enter our apartment with their code. Luckily we were both staying for 3 nights and simply swapped rooms, both of us notifying the facility of the mishap and we had the booking details swapped. Communication from the property was excellent and they were very quick to respond.

I loved this place. I was skeptical as I am not a city girl. But I left our rental car in the parking (which is behind the building FYI don't make the mistake and pay for parking up front!) and hopped on the train as it was only one block away. Wow I became addicted to the trains after this. I loved it. There is a nice wagyu restaurant (izakaya) near by "Chikko Yokocho"

Great location right next to Osakako station with walking distance to the aquarium, Legoland etc. it and has everything you need for an apartment hotel. Lots of spaces including the tatami room. The building is a bit old and run down but clean enough. The only complaint is the WiFi is very slow.

Compared to the 2 other places we stayed in Japan, this was the biggest, size wise. There were 2 separate bedrooms, a bathroom, a laundryroom attached to a shower room, a kitchen attached to a living room area with a small balcony, and a traditional style sitting room. I may highly consider making this home base for the next trip. The check-in process was a bit strange since there are no people staffing the building, but follow the email instructions, and its easy enough.

Ok stay wifi didn't work at all for 7 days
There's a reason why you stay in a hotel vs condominium like this. There is no reception to ask for anything. You send a message and although there are quick to respond, it's still hard to communicate via message. Our wifi didn't work the entire time of our 7 nights stay, an absolute rip off. I've sent them multiple messages and the response was unplug the router or to connect to other rooms which none worked. There also isn't enough supply for 7 nights stay including toilet paper and you have to empty your own bins with only a few plastic bags provided for our 7 nights stay
