This is going to be our home while staying in Japan. This AirBnB apartment in Sembayashi-Omiya, a town within Osaka.

Our first AirBnB stay of this Odyssey

We arrived on time which was between 1 & 2 pm and Roman was there waiting for us as he promised. He was very pleased to see that we had made it and promptly helped us with our luggage as we walked to the property.

Our apartment is on the top floor of this building.

Only just a five minutes walk from the subway station and we are there. Our place is on the top floor of the building which thankfully has an elevator.

The apartment has a tiny balcony, tiny bathroom, tiny kitchen and yes you guessed it a tiny bedroom/lounge combo, very typical of Japan cities. With our all of our luggage in it, I’m not sure whether we have space for ourselves. A sure sign that we need to reduce our belongings even more!

It’s nice and clean and really all we need. The Internet is FAST as I write this.

Even the bed is rolled up and I guess doubles as a couch, really!

In the corner is a small table, and there is a TV on another little stand to the right. Out the sliding door is the tiny balcony.

From the balcony, we have some nice views over the city.

Roman took us for a short guided tour around the town and explained a few things that we might need to know and then we say good-bye.

We bought a few fruits, some water, a ready meal and Kirin beers and then returned home.
