Eef Condominium Kumejima

A nice place, with a pretty interesting design.

The design is interesting, and the rooms have sinks and washing machines, though the bathroom is shower-only with no bathtub. Key pickup is unmanned, and the place seems popular with divers, with wetsuits often drying on balconies. Since it's generally unstaffed, I'm not sure how quickly anyone would respond if something went wrong. The service is worth the price, so it suits experienced travelers.

This place worked well for me because it has private rooms, low prices, and a convenient spot near Eef Beach and a convenience store. It's for people who want to stay more like they live there: towels and sheets are provided, but you do your own laundry, and there's no room service at all. It feels aimed at solo guests, so I wouldn't recommend it for families. The whole building smells like fresh paint, perhaps because it was recently renovated, though I expect that smell to improve. The rooms themselves don't smell of paint.

A convenient place to stay if you're working away from home. You can cook for yourself, and there are restaurants and convenience stores nearby.
