&Monde. Okinawa Arena Condominium

The house is clean and tidy, with four rooms and complete facilities, but the beds didn’t breathe well. Even with the air conditioning set to 22°C in early March, I sweated heavily in my sleep and my back felt hot. It’s beside a driveway and road, and the windows don’t block much sound. The noise was loud, and fire trucks and police cars woke us early in the morning. There are also lots of portrait paintings around the space. If that bothers you, you may want to look elsewhere. I found them a bit scary, and landscape pictures might suit the house better.

The owner was so kind, quick to respond, and very trustworthy. We had no complaints, and were happy to find such a lovely house at a reasonable price. There were even inflatable rings and other things we could borrow, and our four-year-old loved the big playground equipment in the garden. We stayed with our child and three adults. The house was spacious, clean, and easy to use. We’d definitely stay again if we come back to Okinawa.

It was easy to get around, with the highway nearby and supermarkets and convenience stores within walking distance. There was parking for three cars, and the Wi-Fi worked well. The kids had play equipment to use, and Okinawa Arena is also within walking distance, which seems really handy when there’s an event. The rooms were very clean and had all the daily necessities, so it’s well suited to longer stays. I’d use this place again.

There’s just one bathroom fixture, which gets inconvenient with a lot of guests. The parking is very tight too, and you can’t fully open either car door without worrying about the metal fence beside the house. With two cars, bringing luggage inside is a hassle because the driveway takes up all the space.
