It was comfortable and close to the underground to the Expo. There is no reception so it is not possible to send luggage there, which is otherwise normal in Japan and makes traveling more comfortable.

will definitely stay at this place again next time when we visit Osaka. The apartment is comfy and a good place for family/friends to stay. Close to Aquarium and dinning place. The parking facility was one of the main reasons I chose this hotel.

Spacious and perfectly located!
Very spacious. In an excellent location to walk to the Osaka Aquarium (and adjoining shopping). Walked to the ferry and crossed the waters to Universal Studios Japan - it was perfect!!
The only (minor) shortfall is the washing machine. Compared to the other places I stayed at with an all-in-one (I may have been spoiled by those), this unit has a top load washer.

Compared to the 2 other places we stayed in Japan, this was the biggest, size wise. There were 2 separate bedrooms, a bathroom, a laundryroom attached to a shower room, a kitchen attached to a living room area with a small balcony, and a traditional style sitting room. I may highly consider making this home base for the next trip.
The check-in process was a bit strange since there are no people staffing the building, but follow the email instructions, and its easy enough.

I loved this place. I was skeptical as I am not a city girl. But I left our rental car in the parking (which is behind the building FYI don't make the mistake and pay for parking up front!) and hopped on the train as it was only one block away. Wow I became addicted to the trains after this. I loved it. There is a nice wagyu restaurant (izakaya) near by "Chikko Yokocho"

It’s walking distance from the aquarium, the Ferris wheel and mall. Clean. Only issue is the WiFi is extremely slow. Also needs more forms of communication besides line app. Not all tourists use that app.

The property is on the older, but very functionable. It was great having 3 bedrooms for a family of 5 and there were attractions, supermarkets, transport and restaurants very close-by. It is approx 30mins away from central Osaka by train. There was a washing machine but no drying facility other than the balcony. The TV only supported local TV and we were unable to connect our laptop to it.
We had an incident on check-in whereby there was another family in our room. They got the room numbers confused and managed to enter our apartment with their code. Luckily we were both staying for 3 nights and simply swapped rooms, both of us notifying the facility of the mishap and we had the booking details swapped. Communication from the property was excellent and they were very quick to respond.

The unit was amazing. The tatami room was relaxing and our two kids immediately wanted to sleep in there. The balcony view and the sunroom were both relaxing for morning coffee. The beds were perfect for a stay. Plenty of room for storing bags. Amazing place to stay.
