The breakfast was very good and the hosts are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are all very tidy and super clean. All the facilities are very nice to use. The location is great and very close to the supermarket and JR Station.

The hosts were very helpful and kind. They ensured we had everything we needed for the stay.

I wish they allowed you to pick your breakfast options. It would help minimize waste for them as well.

everything so convenient and very fast wifi

Gallery Compass felt like home away from home in Higashiosaka! It's a standard apartment space, maybe a 1LDK (?). It has a separate bedroom, a living room with tatami, a dining area and wonderfully equipped kitchen! They have a dishwasher! (We only stayed for a night so we didn't cook.) For a group of 5, we fit comfortably in the apartment - 3 friends slept in the living room with futons provided and my husband and I slept in the bedroom. There was enough space for everyone to hang out together and to go into for privacy. We loved how clean and tidy the space was, and for the price of our stay for one night was very well worth it! The closest station (Yaenosato) is 5 min walk away. Convenient! Our hosts were very prompt with communication - all in Japanese, but that can be easily translated on an app!. The day before, I had asked the hosts if we could come by early to leave our luggage and check in later at the listed time. They were very gracious to allow us to check in at the time we came to leave our things. This is not the usual policy with most accommodations I had stayed in, so I was pleasantly surprised! Our host met us at the front of the building when we didn't really know where to look. He let us in the apartment and gave us the keys. With the help of a translator app, my broken Nihongo and gestures, we could communicate! We covered all the basic house rules and decided what time breakfast will be the next morning. They had signs displayed with some English too (eg.: don't fold the futon and put it back in the closet on the day you're leaving). Then our lovely hostess made breakfast for us. It was served at the café at the ground floor. It was a lovely, light meal of salad, scrambled eggs and bacon, served with either coffee or tea. We also got 2 rounds of toast with butter! Will definitely stay here again when we come visit Osaka again!

There's nothing much to fault! I can see this accommodation being comfortable for travelling families or groups of friends. Now that the borders are open...for visiting non-resident foreigners who are thinking of staying here, a gentle reminder that having a conscious effort to bridge the language barrier is necessary (bare minimum, really). Meeting our hosts halfway by using basic Japanese, doing gestures and translating our questions on an app and showing them helped us all have a comfortable stay.

very spacious and so accommodating!

The hosts were very kind and helpful. The Apartman was a bit small, but well equipped. In walking distance there is a big supermarket and a train station. We went by car there so it was very convenient having a free parking lot in front of the apartment. The hosts offered breakfast with coffee.

The accommodation was perfect for us as we had been traveling around Japan and staying in hotels for a week and enjoyed the opportunity to have a little more space. The supermarket was a handy short walk away and so was the train station. The breakfast was lovely and our host made us feel very welcome. We would definitely stay here again.

Our hosts were so helpful we cannot thank them enough!! My husband lost his bag in a train and our host went out of her way to help him retrieve it. It was found with everything inside! The apartment is also great when staying for a few days because you can cook for yourself and catch up with laundry if you wish. Also not too far from a train station. Fabulous place to stay!!
