Casaen Kanayamacho Apartment | 41–42㎡ One Bedroom: Compare the Bed Sets of Four Booking Options First

The apartment has a refrigerator, electric kettle, kitchen and a bathroom with a bathtub. Being able to come back after going out, make a simple meal and rest is why I would include this one-bedroom way of staying in a comparison.

With PARCO, Nagarekawa and Hondori activities as the focus, I would compare these four 41–42㎡ listings; choose a large bed plus a double bed, or two double beds, first, then assign the sofa bed. Only if shared beds and a shared living room are acceptable does this way of staying together suit.

This apartment at Kanayamacho 10-6 has several different booking entries. The 41㎡ plan (Trip 91391481) lists one bedroom, one large bed, one double bed and a living-room sofa bed; the 42㎡ plan (Trip 91391478) is one bedroom with two double beds plus a living-room sofa bed. The areas differ by only about one square metre, so the bed combination affects how you actually sleep far more.

For a small group of six, I would first work out who can share a double bed and who suits the sofa bed better; with older travellers or companions who need to sleep early, the maximum of six people should not be taken as six separate sleeping places. The living room is also needed during the day for sitting down to eat and sorting luggage, and the usable area shrinks once the sofa bed is spread out.

Another Casaen listing at the same address (Trip 123007377) also lists 42㎡, two double beds and a living-room sofa bed. Different Trip numbers do not necessarily mean different buildings, so when booking, use the full room number to check the floor, bed type and dedicated photos, then compare that day’s price and cancellation terms; do not assume another room number’s balcony, appliances or light apply here.

Kanayamacho is close to the Hatchobori and Nagarekawa dining and shopping areas; for a short stay I would weigh convenience getting in and out of the city centre most heavily, and only for stays of three nights or more put laundry, simple cooking and leaving luggage spread out for a long time higher on the priority list. The listing names look alike, so in the end the room number and bed type actually booked decide it.
