Affordable! Near downtown Sendai!
Overview
The house and rooms are beautifully furnished and located only 2.5km (1.5mi) from downtown Sendai, just minutes from Kawaramachi Subway station and 3 short stops on the subway to Sendai Station! A bicycle is also available (free) for guests. All rooms have a new split-type A/C, Sony flat screen TV (Google TV), blackout curtains + lace curtains, double-glazed soundproof windows, steel-frame bed, air purifier, several LED lighting fixtures, desk and chair, carpeted floors and some sound-absorption wall panels. An ideal location for international students, work-study, researchers, teachers, interns, etc. with lots of convenient stores, groceries, pharmacy, restaurants, dry cleaning, coin laundry, pet grooming etc. within a few minutes walk. For guests arriving with lots of luggage or travelling with pet(s), airport pick-up via large-size SUV is available with advanced notice. For more specific accommodation needs, please message me. For those travelling with pet(s), please keep them in their crate when not at home and please make sure that they do not cause any damage to the property. Pets can freely use the garden (fenced and gated). I can also help pet sit depending on schedule. Please book a few months in advance so I can block out the other rooms. There is only 1 designated "Pet-Okay" room which is the 1st Corner Room. Other rooms cannot be booked. The house is co-owned by a brother and sister (Japanese), both raised and educated overseas. Both speak English, Japanese and some French. Currently, the one managing and staying at the property is a Researcher at a University in Sendai City. A large-size SUV is also available (host will be driving) if guests would like to travel out of the city (but within the prefecture) to areas without convenient pubic transportation. *Please note that the house is next to the JR commuter railway (operates only during normal hours), and although the house is equipped with soundproofing windows/panels, those who are sensitive to train noise may not find the location suitable.
House Rules
Although there are 3 rooms for homestay: 1) Pet-Only Designated Room 2) Single Occupancy 3) Double Occupancy I do my best to make sure only 1 room is occupied at a time for a more pleasant and comfortable stay. For guests staying with pet(s), please keep them in their crate when not at home and please make sure that they do not cause any damage to the property. A washer and dryer is available for personal clothes. For duvets/blankets or heavier winter coats, please use the coin laundry that is located just a few minutes walk from the house. All beddings are thoroughly cleaned before guests arrive, and beddings and mattresses are also replaced periodically. Air purifier and A/C filters are replaced periodically as well. Although there is no "curfew", please be considerate and come home at a decent time as there may be other individuals staying at the house as well. Balance is due upon arrival in Japanese Yen (Cash, Revolut, Local Bank Transfer). For work-study guests who may have difficulty paying the balance upon arrival, please contact me in advance.
