Soseki Park

I’ve stayed in similar premium like apartments and have a point of comparison since both places were about the same price and within a block or two of each other. I will use that to compare Monday vs the other place. Here are the differences - Monday does not have in room water filters, instead you need to go down to the lobby to get purified water unlike the other venue. - Provided one firm pillow per twin bed, other place has two plush pillows per twin. - accommodation tax is not included in the original payment and must be paid at the complex. - room cleaning is required for stays of 7 days or more whether you like it or not. - detergent for the laundry machine is given in small concentrated packets, but typically one was not enough for a single load. Other place gave us an entire container that was about 1.5 liters. - door to the restroom sink and washer should be switched to a sliding door due to the small space and how the door pushes aside the bath mat upon entry. - no real black out curtains, the curtains are more of an opaque white material and still let light through. - Japanese is the primary language spoken by the staff compared to the more foreigner friendly English speaking one down the street. This is to be expected in Japan, but if you want easier communication with the staff the other venue may be better. - non-refundable Monday overall, is nice for the size, and the basic apartment amenities, but is more expensive and has more downsides than my go to.

Very clean and comfortable stay, with very helpful staff
