Shin-Imamiya Grand F

The whole room is spacious. Shower was good with bathtub. Has a washing machine, free to use. Sofa with a tv. Clean. Japanese housing style but not too typical, just a regualr. Big dining table. Separate parts of the shoes keeping.

Less electric socket inside the big bedroom.

The place was clean and provided basic amenities. Location close to train station. Note that a dryer is not available (the shower room itself does not have a function as a drying room as well). Because Osaka had rainy weather during our entire stay, this was an issue for drying clothes (no possibilities of drying clothes on the balcony) and the apartment did not provide umbrellas as well. Pros: * Clean * Washer available * Basic amenities provided (detergent, towels, many hangers, vacuum) and extra supplies were available in the lobby (slippers, toothbrushes) * The staff replied diligently and restocked amenities when asked (towels, shampoo). Note that we asked for a restock on a Sunday and were given a response that day that staff would not be able to come in until the following day on Monday. * Building is very secure; building doors have a lock code and the elevator has an additional lock code * ~4 minute walk from train station

Cons: * No dryer available and the shower room does not have a drying function as well. Possible to hang clothes on the balcony but Osaka had rainy weather during our entire stay, meaning we had to find a laundry mat * No umbrellas provided, which was unfortunate, as we had to buy and dispose of umbrellas as we did not have room in our luggage * No full-size mirror (only mirror is in the bathroom above the sink) * Sometimes the extra amenities in the lobby were not restocked * Television did not have local channels and you can only watch your own personal streaming services (Netflix, YouTube, etc.) * Location typically safe but while walking on the street to the building, we have come across a few roaches on the streets (but not in the apartment thankfully). We have also seen neighboring residents urinating in public a few times. During one night, we witnessed a confrontation between the police and a neighbor. We still felt safe overall though.

Die Unterkunft lag nah an einer Metro-Station. Es gab keine Rezeption, aber eine 24h Hotline, die immer schnell und zuverlässig geantwortet hat. Die Wohnung war geräumig und bietet Platz für 4 Personen inklusive Gepäck. Die Unterkunft liegt in einer etwas schwierigeren Gegend, allerdings hat man sich durch die Sicherheitsmaßnahmen sehr sicher gefühlt. Es waren mehrere Codes notwendig, um in die Wohnung zu gelangen.

Die Unterkunft war nicht ordentlich geputzt, sodass wir zunächst einmal ordentlich durchwischen mussten. Der bereitgestellte Staubsauger funktionierte leider nicht gut, wurde auf Nachfrage aber getauscht. Die Betten sind nach japanischer Art eher klein und stark durchgelegen. Auf Nachfrage hieß es, das sei japanischer Standard, allerdings hatten wir in keinem anderen Hotel so harte Matratzen und Kissen. Zusätzliche Decken, um den Komfort zu erhöhen, wurden nicht bereitgestellt, da diese abgezählt waren. Die Zimmer sind sehr hellhörig und die Nachbarn waren die gesamte Nacht hindurch zu hören.

The place is quite difficult to find because it is new to me,all is keyless entry

I could hear neighbours talking loudly,dragging the chairs and tables,the room is not really nose proof,nearby there is no food stall and l had to walk out to the main road to the family mart to get foods and drinks and that is the only mart that opens 24 hrs.l had to walk a distance to get to the train station and getting from places to places from our apartment is not very convenient.
