Pros:
- value for money, the longer you stay the cheaper it is
- 2 double beds hence ideal for families
- kitchen with utensils
- decent heating for Nov
- decent bathroom
- Disney vibe (bath mats, wallpaper, etc)
- shuttle service, free pickup from nearest station (Yachiyodai). Decent price if to/from Narita airport
- family mart, 7 eleven, and big Yacs nearby
- some restaurants nearby
Cons:
- it's about a 45 minute normal walk to the station. Bit spooky if doing it at night as you will go through some empty streets and slightly industrial areas. But always lit, and still relatively safe, since it's Japan
- you do get some occasional bus, but it's not guaranteed (one bus I waited for did not arrive despite my maps and timetable saying otherwise)
- I thought it would be the whole place to myself, but it's actually a semi-detached house. So if you have neighbouring guests you will hear what's going on next door. You can even hear a cough. To be fair, the hosts did try to put signage that asks guests to be considerate, but even then - one can forget these things.
- the bed linen was different from the photo. I was expecting white cotton, but brown ..polyester, maybe(?), and a bedsheet that was like a fluffy blanket. It wasn't suitable for me as I felt itchy.
As per the title of this review - if you're a family travelling by car then this is likely to be an excellent deal. If you're a solo traveler using public transport, and a light sleeper, then maybe consider elsewhere.
