간사이공항에서 난카이선을 타고 텐카자야에서 환승하여 키타노다역까지
40분정도 걸리는 교통의 편리성과,
일반적인 풀옵션 원룸에 가깝다는 점.
전철역과 슈퍼가 5분거리에 있어서 시내로의 이동과,
맛집탐방이 아니라면, 식사하는데 불편하지 않음.
어차피 눈 뜨면 나가니까..ㅋ
럭셔리와는 거리가 멀지만, 실용성은 굿!!
I telephoned the contact number the day before I arrived. I was given a padlock number. When I arrived at the guest house, I unlocked the padlock to discovered it was like a bedsit accommodation. It was not a guesthouse or even a hotel. There was nothing much to do in Kitanode and it took about 1.5 hours to get to Osaka. So all in all I wouldn't stay here again because it was too far out from Osaka and as I was on my own I felt isolated.
The guy who runs the place speaks very little English and doesn't respond to emails, but it ends up working out if nothing goes wrong and there's no confusion. I had a bit of a runaround but that was my fault.
The place is right next to the railroad tracks so there's a bit of sound at night, but it was spacious by japanese standards and well stocked. It had a full bath, which made me all kinds of happy. The heating wasn't really up to American standards, but a European who is used to wearing sweaters and whatnot indoors may not mind.
Overall, I liked it and it was one of my favorite places to stay in Japan, but I could easily see it being a bad experience for someone who is more sensitive to neighborhood factors.
It's a 480 yen ride each way from Namba station, which effectively means that for most people you're going to spend a few more bucks a night here than other places, and there aren't a lot of restaurant etc options nearby, either. That said, the place itself is pretty nice.
