In recent years, the popularity of sightseeing in Kyoto has continued to rise. During the Keihan cherry blossom viewing trip in March 2016, Kyoto hotels were even more difficult to find and the prices were rising. After a successful attempt to stay in Airbnb in Tokyo in June 3, this time Anya booked 2015 affordable Airbnb apartment suites in Kyoto in one go.However, this time I encountered a complaint from the Airbnb host and had to cancel the reservation. Although the landlord was successfully asked for a refund, in the event of a time emergency, I went back and searched for a reasonable price hotel in the Agoda Upper Osaka area.

Hotel location and surrounding environment
Osaka Tsuruhashi Private Apartment is located at the junction of the Osaka Railway Lines. There are three railway stations nearby: JR Loop Line Tsuruhashi Station, Subway Sennichimae Line Tsuruhashi Station, Kintetsu Osaka Line Tsuruhashi Station, and it is very convenient to arrange the itinerary and transportation.However, the co-construction of the three stations will make the movement in the station more complicated. After arriving by the JR loop line, I kept hitting the wall between the JR and subway platforms and could not find the exit. So I should take the elevator down from the JR platform. , Go to the central change gate and exit the station.
This hotel is located next to the Heqiao shopping street. This area is where Koreans live in Japan. There are many Korean shops in the shopping street. It is suitable for people who love Korean cuisine and products.What’s more convenient is that the hotel is only 130 meters away from Kintetsu Station. Although the Airbnb room in Kyoto was temporarily cancelled, I had to settle in Osaka. Later I found that I lived here and I could drag my luggage and take the Kintetsu train to Kyoto Station. It's quite convenient, and it's also great to arrange a few days of Osaka tour by the way.
This private apartment in Tsuruhashi, Osaka, has a layout similar to the apartment-style suites commonly seen on Airbnb. It has a living space with one bedroom, one kitchen and one bathroom. In fact, it is converted from an ordinary apartment-style building.When we checked in, we saw that many rooms were still being sorted and continuously remodeled. On Agoda’s booking website, this hotel uses a separate reservation method for each suite, which is actually a bit troublesome, but you can search for it with the keyword "Condominium Residenzi" .

Hotel room and facilities introduction
The experience of staying in a private apartment in Tsuruhashi is actually very similar to Airbnb, but not like a normal hotel, because there is no reception counter!
A few days before the check-in, I received the transportation method and password lock instructions from the owner from the host. Because I have had several Airbnb accommodation experiences before, I didn’t find it difficult.First of all, you have to find lockers at the station to place your luggage. At the time, it was easy to solve this problem at Tennoji Station. After running for a full day, I dragged my luggage and followed the instructions of the landlord. Open the door code lock, and then go upstairs. Open the code lock of the room door and move in now!
The entire suite is a layout of one room, one kitchen and one bathroom. The place where the washing machine was originally supposed to be placed has been changed to a discharge refrigerator to make the room more spacious.As for the washing machine, there are several free-use washing machines on the first floor. At the beginning of the trip, there was no actual trial.The room has a small balcony, and the road between the alleys is outside. It is quiet day and night. It is really not like staying in a hotel, but rather like living in Japan.Haha!

Conclusion
Osaka Yomo opens one or two star-rated hotels every year, and the rest are mainly newly opened cheap hotels and guest houses.This time I stayed at Tsuruhashi Private Apartment for three days from March 3 to 28. The three-day accommodation amount was NT$31 (including service fee 9,163%, hotel tax 10% and cleaning fee 8 yuan).
