Owner is friendly and personable. I arrived about an hour before check-in but he was still willing to accommodate me. The apartment is located very close to Hiragishi Station, so you can easily travel elsewhere in the city. There are also at least two convenience stores, and a grocery store within similar distance. The apartments use key codes, so there's no need to carry around a card or key. As far as amenities go, the room has a fridge/freezer, a heater, a TV, and the owner has an assortment of other small appliances on hand that he's willing to provide if you ask, like a microwave, toaster, and mini-stove. The room is also stocked with an impressive amount of everyday essentials, including: -Cups, cutlery and cooking containers -Tissues and towels -An umbrella -Toothbrushes, shampoo, soaps, toothpaste -A few emergency items like bandaids and a flashlight The room itself was reasonably spacious and very clean.

-The WiFi cuts out for a few moments sometimes. If you're only browsing, this is just a minor inconvenience, but it can cause downloads and updates to fail. -A heated toilet seat would have been nice, especially given how cold Hokkaido can get. -No closet/dedicated hanger space, though there is a little alcove near the water heater that you can sorta make work for this. -No free parking. This won't matter to most travelers I think, but it's still worth mentioning. There is a parking lot across the street and it's not expensive but it still costs.

Erimo Apartments I'm 78 years old, and in all my traveling (many places in the world) I have NEVER come across a more gracious, helpful,  and generous host than Takashi Soda. His help to sort out an accommodation problem at another venue for other members of our group, and driving us to catch a bus at short notice was way above 'call of duty'. His accommodation at Erimo self contained studio units have everything you need and more. These are a typical Japanese living space, not big, but pack in so many facilities in a small space it amazes me. They are modern, and spotlessly clean. There is also a shared communal room. Very easy to get anywhere around Sapporo from here. Either long or short term. Hiragishi subway station & the full supermarket (open 09 to 23.30) next to it are a 4 minute walk, a 7/11 is a 2 minute walk away.  Takashi speaks quite reasonable English. I highly recommended this place to stay.

Nothing

I like the location so much. It is very near to 7Eleven and Family Mart. It is also very near to Hiragishi station, hence the downtown is very accessible. Also it has all the facilities (fridge, air-conditioner, TV, proper kitchen, microwave, heater, Cooking Utensils, plates, bowls, fork, spoon etc). The owner Takashi san is very helpful. He showed me everything when I first arrived at the apartment.

Nothing. Everything was okay and I have nothing to complain about the apartment.

A cosy and quiet apartment with everything I need. Good location, 5 minute walk to Hiragishi subway station (6 stops to Sapporo station) and Tokyu Store - a big super market next to the station, 2 minute walk to Seven-Eleven Store, some restaurants nearby. Takashi - the host is very helpful, responsive, and communicates in English well. Great value for money.

Only one feedback which is the wash basin is too low for adults to use.

Mr. Takashi was an excellent host. He do care about the customers and maintained the flat great. The flat was in a quiet, safe area and sparkling clean. It’s about 5 minutes away from station by walk and surrounded with supermarkets and tasty restaurants with good prices. Washing machines and dryers were helpful for my 2 weeks stay. Especially AC in summer, it’s a spot light. If I back Sapporo, I will stay here again.

Takashi-san was the consummate host, personable and very accommodating and full of spot on suggestions and background information. The suite was ingeniously compact, but included everything we might need for a week's stay and was spotlessly clean. The location was convenient to public transport and within walking distance of many attractions. And the neighborhood was a quiet, comfortable pedestrian precinct, quite interesting in its own right.

Nothing to find fault with.

Perfect location, very near to the station. A few stops to the three main stations, sapporo, oodori, and susukino. The service and explanation were great. The room and bathroom were clean. I had a great time staying for the week.

The pillow could use a little more filling.

•Good location - 5min walk from Hiragishi subway station •Quiet - in residential area, off main street •Clean and well equipped •Nice and informative host •Value for money - can’t beat it! Everything I needed was here. Highly recommended (at the right $)

None

It was a clean, quiet and convenient place. I have no real complaints. It was really nice would stay again.

The cloth hanger in the corner of the room fell down a couple of times. It was a bit too small for the gap it was in.

Very friendly owner/manager who allowed us to check-in early. The apartment is in a good location - close to a grocery store, subway station, restaurants, etc. The heater works well, especially because the apartment gets quite cold in the evenings.

Mattress and pillows were not the most comfortable. There is also no wardrobe/closet that can be used to hang up clothes.
