A cool home in a super convenient location

My husband, daughter and I came to Japan to visit with family, but hotel rooms here are tiny so we opted to rent a home. Casa Yoshihiro has an interesting floor plan and is fun for kids; also the high ceilings are nice for tall people. There are a lot of stairs though, so maybe not suitable for the elderly.. but the location is convenient and the host is very responsive :)
