We were close to the metro and train stations, though we had to walk for a few minutes to get there, dotombori and shinsekai are also close by. However, our street was usually calm and we were able to rest well.
Would definitely consider staying again.
Only downside, we put the sign out for the trash to be taken away, but they never did for a week. The container is right outside, so that was only a minor inconvenience.
Good for location - out the way of the busy parks of Osaka however no reception to enquiry about luggage or if any issues with the room! Great that there was a balcony!
