Newly open・Cozy apt 6-B
Great quiet location near Aquarium (5-min walk, must visit!), Tempozan Market Place, Ferris Wheel, and Universal Studios (10-min walk + free 3-min Tempozan Ferry + 25-min walk or pay 1700 yen roundtrip to take the Captain Line shuttle boat from Aquarium to USJ). Suite spotless, bed super comfy, 3 drawers underneath bed, coat rack. All TV channels in Japanese. Cutlery and dishes enough for 2 settings only eg. 2 forks, 2 cups, 2 large plates, etc. Lots of bath and hand towels. Bath robes and complimentary toiletries for 2. Small waste baskets, but large garbage bins located outside per floor. Wished there was an instruction sheet for the washing machine & oven/element plate with English labels for what the Japanese labels meant. We didn't use either appliance. However, there was a drying rack that we could put outside on the balcony to dry our handwashed clothes. Hosts answered questions promptly. Would go back to stay again! Thanks Kiku & Matsu!

2 min. from Nakatsu Station, 5-person apartment
We had a fantastic stay in this apartment - perfect for our family of 4. Some of the local restaurants were outstanding and authentic compared to restaurants in the city. Highly recommended.

202 Dotonbori River, 5 min walk to Dotonbori, Kuromon Market, Shinsaibashi, Namba Business District, Balcony with washing machine. 1F free dryer, microwave
We enjoyed our stay here. Tight and cozy but great location with lots of restaurants nearby. Washer and dryer available with a laundromat down the street for faster turnaround. The host was very quick and responsive. No elevator to second floor room but not too bad to haul luggage up.

2 rooms, 8 minutes to Dotonbori, 5 minutes to JR Namba, Shinsaibashi, Netflix, Horie
A cozy and comfortable place to stay, not too far from the lively area for hiking to Dowton and more, it is worth recommending.

302 Dotonbori River, 5 min walk to Dotonbori, Kuromon Market, Shinsaibashi, Namba business district, washing machine on balcony. 1F free dryer, microwave
Clean, the price is fair for such room at this location.

402 Dotonbori River, 5 min walk to Dotonbori, Kuromon Market, Shinsaibashi, Namba business district, washing machine on balcony. 1F free dryer, microwave
We stayed there for 2 nights and were very satisfied! The location is right in the Dontonbori neighborhood and there are many ways to do something. The accommodation is clean and optimal for 2 people. However, we were on the 4th floor with large suitcases without an elevator, the stairwell was a bit tight for our huge suitcases. Overall a great stay!

401 Dotonbori River, 5 min walk to Dotonbori, Kuromon Market, Shinsaibashi, Namba business district, washing machine on balcony. 1F free dryer, microwave
This place is absolutely great for a short stay at Osaka. It's really quiet for being so close to the hilarious madness of Dotonbori. The flat is clean and spacious enough for two. Communication was easy and super friendly.

101 Dotonbori Riverside, 5 min walk to Dotonbori, Kuromon Market, Shinsaibashi, Namba Business District, Balcony with washing machine. 1F free dryer, microwave
Exactly as advertised, a quick and easy check in was much appreciated.

Great house, we have two kids, 2 years 10 months, 4 years old, they love this house because there are stairs to climb.The house is very clean, in a quiet alley, very close to Osaka Port, you can go to the aquarium, and it is very convenient to go to other places by subway.I'll stay at this house again next time I come to Osaka.Thank you for your care, Jing. I wish you all the best!

Kyoto Center near Kujo|Parking area|3 Rooms |9pax
It was our first time visiting Kyoto and this place with conveniently located to good restaurants and train station. The place was comfortable and clean. It comfortably accommodated 6 people. The host was great and responded quickly. I highly recommend staying here when visiting Kyoto and need a private and quiet place to rest. Neighborhood was peaceful and safe too. I would stay here again.

[Midorikawatei Casa Verde] 15-minute walk to Kyoto Station/11-minute walk to Kuju Station/1 minute to Kamogawa/High-speed WIFI
Had a great time, very clean and quiet location. I didn’t expect the stairs to be so steep, but that was my ignorance! If mobility is an issue this isn’t the place for you but otherwise ticked all the boxes. The shower is big for Japanese standards which was great!

Riverside/ 2mins to Inari Shrine/ 5mins Kyoto Sta.
I recently stayed at Saito’s place and had a wonderful experience! The check-in process was smooth and easy, and communication with the host was prompt and helpful throughout my stay. The place was thoughtfully furnished, with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable visit. The location was perfect — close to one of the attraction, restaurants, and subway station, yet peaceful enough for a good night’s sleep. Overall, this stay exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting the area. Thank you again, Saito, for being such a great host. I would definitely love to stay here again in the future!

8 minutes by train to USJ, 5 bedrooms, please have a good time at this private lodging

Yushin Full Renovation House 4
Wonderful stay! The host is kind and well-managed. Thank you~

Japanese room, Osaka/Umeda 2 sta, with balcony
Shared apartment with private rooms and a quiet environment, well connected to the Osaka metropolitan area. Courteous, communicative and very friendly hostess. I can recommend sitting on the embankment right next to the river. There you have a wonderful view of the Osaka skyline and the railroad tracks without there being much going on. I would book a room again.
