Villa Liberte Hakone Gora

If you want to hang out at a "college fraternity house" style apartment, this is your place. You are greeted by a can of pesticide, must walk up a staircase that is clearly a hazard, suffer a bath that doesn't work, and a refrigerator full of used condiments. Don't worry, you will receive snarky emails from the owner telling you just how many towels you're allowed to use while you're there. If you do happen to make it up the stair case without it falling down, don't plan on sleeping. There is a cat who will meow incessantly at your window throughout the night. The owners claim that it's a stray cat, though there is cat food inside the property. We tried communicating with the property owner, but we're treated as though we were the fools who are banking their vacation house. Highly recommend that you do NOT book at this location.
