Best apartment we've stayed in and we've stayed in alot of them.
We've stayed in many apartments in Japan, Korea, Australia and NZ but this by far was the most cosy and best appointed. It has everything we could think of. All credit to Julia for her thoughtful design, provision of amenities and beside being super helpful and friendly. There's also helpful directions and recommendations in the apt itself - so helpful. You can holiday within the apt. It gives new dimension to "small is beautiful"!
The apt's location on a hill meant that you could look down at Sakamachi street from the verandah. Aka, it is so near and you can walk/eat/shop and then stroll back to a safe and considerate neighbourhood.
We will surely visit Otaru again - for the accommodation, shopping and food (glorious seafood)!
We didn't mind that it was on a "steep" slope but it would not be suitable for the non-ambulant or physically challenged.

Terrific place in a great location.
Very comfortable and well equipped unit, in a terrific location. Just a short walk to the main street. Perfect
Nothing, it was excellent for us.

Great cozy place to stay in Otaru
The host was excellent and was waiting outside for us right as we arrived; she gave us good information about the surrounding area in addition to showing us the unit. It was a great cozy spot close to everything in Otaru, with lots of amenities to cook or do laundry. Didn't see this mentioned in other reviews but this unit had the best water pressure I have ever seen in Japan.
Like others have mentioned the unit is up a steep hill but we had a car rental so it was not an issue, still something to keep in mind if you are planning on walking around the area mainly.

Perfect stop during roundtrip Hokkaido
Very friendly host
Perfect location (in walking distance from center of town)
Google maps link to parking area and accommodation was working fine.
Opportunity to do the laundry

I had previously stayed in another apartment on the 8th floor with the same host, and this time I stayed in the 1st-floor apartment. Once again, I had a very comfortable and relaxing stay.
The apartment has a nice view of the harbor. I really enjoyed having coffee on the balcony in the morning and a cold beer there in the evening. There is a coffee machine that grinds whole beans and makes fresh coffee, and the beer glasses are even kept chilled in the freezer. These thoughtful little details made the stay even more enjoyable.
The apartment was spotlessly clean, and the shower had excellent water pressure. The toilet is equipped with a bidet seat, and the queen-size bed was very comfortable. I was in Otaru for work, but it was a wonderful place to relax after a long day.
The kitchen is very well equipped and has almost everything you need for cooking. I also appreciated that Japanese rice was provided in the refrigerator. Parking can be arranged nearby if you reserve it in advance.
Mt. Tengu Ski Resort is very close, and Kiroro, Sapporo Kokusai Ski Resort, and Niseko are all within about a 90-minute drive by rental car. This would make the apartment a great base for a ski trip as well. Instead of paying the higher prices at the ski resorts, I would recommend enjoying dinner in Otaru, where there are many good restaurants and the seafood is especially fresh.
Overall, I was very happy with the cleanliness, facilities, location, and comfort of the apartment. I would definitely stay here again the next time I visit Otaru.

自宅にいるようで落ち着けた。
女性には嬉しいアメニティがかなり充実していました^_^
大型バイクで滞在したので、砂利と急な坂道の駐車場は無理でした。
