Japan Airbnb – 4 Airbnb Experiences in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka

When I am traveling, I try to stay in guesthouses and hostels whenever I can. To me, hotels are pretty much all the same, the only things that sets one hotel apart from another are prestige, location, amenities and price. These are things I don’t really care that much about.
