Haruka was a very calm, warm and welcoming host. The house is in a lovely local neighbourhood, lots of good food and supermarket nearby and conveniently close to train station and tram. The room was fully self contained, with thoughtful touches to make a very comfortable stay! The house was also immaculately clean.
