Dash Living Ryogoku

First off, I booked a deluxe suite for two people, but when I got to the room, the size and environment were completely different from what was advertised online. I booked a double bed, but what I got was a standard double, which was quite frustrating. Even knowing there would be two guests, the table was small, fine, but there was only one chair for two people. Were we supposed to stand? When we ate, one person sat on the chair, and the other had to sit on the edge of the bed, using a suitcase to hold their food (maybe they really wanted us to eat standing up). We had no choice; after a long day of sightseeing, anyone would want to sit and rest while eating. We stayed for 8 nights. On the fourth day, I asked if they could change our bath towels to clean ones. The answer was that it would cost extra. Again, speechless. Although there was a washing machine, I would never use it. If a guest had skin conditions and washed underwear or similar items, and there was no disinfectant provided in the room, then it’s better not to wash at all. Staying for 8 nights, and seeing such a huge discrepancy between the actual room and the one I paid for was one thing, but to be charged extra just to get a clean towel once was a bit incomprehensible.

My stay here was even more comfortable than I expected. It truly felt like a home away from home in Tokyo. The kitchen, tableware, refrigerator, washing machine, TV, and bathroom had everything one could need for a complete living experience. There were also two towels provided, which was perfectly fine after washing. The bathroom's drying function was very convenient for quickly drying clothes.

The space is very large and convenient, with all the facilities you could need. Plus, there's a supermarket nearby.

The B&B isn't very close to the station; it's at least a 10-15 minute walk. It has a balcony, a washing machine, cooking utensils, and a microwave, so you can cook your own meals. Other than the location/transportation, everything else is fine.

Pros: The surrounding residential area is relatively quiet, and the room is spacious enough to fully open two 26-inch suitcases. Check-in was smooth, just entering the access codes for the building downstairs and the room door. Cons: The frustrating part was that room 503, which we were assigned, had no curtains. Later, we realized the entire curtain track was missing and had been removed and placed in a separate compartment (without screws or a screwdriver). We called customer service to discuss this (knowing English was really important, otherwise I wouldn't have known how to explain it). The customer service initially said they'd send someone to check, but then said the maintenance worker wasn't available and would only come tomorrow. I was like, 'Are we supposed to sleep with all the neighbors watching?' I immediately asked if we could switch rooms, and eventually, we moved to room 602, which had curtains. The whole ordeal took over an hour. Sometimes I feel it's better to be cautious when choosing Airbnb-style accommodations in a foreign country; it can be quite troublesome when you really need help.
