Although basic and rustic, the room was very clean with comfortable beds and bedding. The kitchen had everything you need: fridge, microwave, kettle, sink, dishes and cutlery, and the bathroom was spacious with good water pressure and hot water. Communications with the property owner were quick, responsive, and helpful. This is also an excellent location on the island. Loved Naoshima, loved our two nights at Quaint House! Highly recommend.

Everything was pretty good about this place. There is no front desk, but they do provide a phone number if you need anything. My only complaint is there was no hand soap, only the shower gel in the shower (which worked fine, but a note nonetheless).

Didnt seem like they changed the sheets between guests, they had hair and dirt on them. We weren't in the main property but at another site by a restaurant with bright lights outside. It was a fine room itself, but didn't seem like they do regular cleaning between guests. There was also mold on the walls and on the mattress.

We stayed in one of the cubes, which was my first time in a ship container and I loved it! The space was super efficient and cozy, clean, and with sufficient amenities. The space is just a few minutes walking from the port, so it's an excellent location if you arrive to Naoshima from Uno Port. The only sad thing is that we had a food coupon we didn't get to use because the place was closed :( Quite convenient self check-in and just walking distance from a convenience store.

The property was very close to Miyaura port, bus stop, Seven Eleven conbini, rental bike shops, cafes, and restaurants. The location was perfect. That said, the walls were very thin and you could hear pretty much everything from your neighbor. We tried not to make much noise. I did like its minimalist interior though.

Room number came very late at half past 6 while we actually arrived at 4. Other guests were helpful with helping us to figure out our room number. We're OK with self check-in but the instruction has to be clearer. A bit disappointed that the Cube is in fact a container house, but it's clear in general. Pity that there is also no service for baggage deposit, so be expected to pay for a little more to store your luggage at the port/shops if you arrive early/leaving late. Nowhere to hang wet towels despite there are nice MUJI hangers (without the horizontal bar).

Nos encanto todo de este airbnb. Estaba super linda toda la decoración y todo muy bien cuidado. Las areas comunes también están muy bonitas, todo nuevo. Esta a 2 mins del único 7 eleven en toda la isla y de la parada del autobús local para después cambiar de ruta al shuttle de cortesía del benesse house. Para el check in no tuvimos que hablar con nadie, llegamos a quaint house y nos dirigimos a nuestro respectivo cuarto donde nos estaba esperando un sobre con el nombre de nuestra reservación y las llaves junto con instrucciones de como usar las instalaciones. También queda muy cerca del puerto de miyanoura para tomar el ferry. Definitivo lo volveríamos a reservar, sentimos que visitar Naoshima sería increible en invierno con frio y nieve. En general amamos todo, este airbnb super recomendado, todo bien.

We rented e-bikes via the link from Quaint House and it was the best way to get around to a the art sites on the island. Little Plum served great food. Highly recommended.
