Spacious and well equipped apartment, one of the largest we stayed in during our extended stay in Japan. Fantastic host who went out of his way to help. Great location, walking distance to everywhere. Roof terrace with amazing views.

We had a great stay but it is only fair to mention the property is on a busy 4 lane highway and there is considerable traffic noise even during the night. Also, surprisingly inadequate covering on the floor to ceiling glass in the bedroom as well as other smaller windows without any blinds, so we were always awake at daybreak.

Everything was so well thought out. It was meticulously clean. We had extra pillows (a first after 2 weeks in Japan!), the bed was supportive but not rock hard (also a first!), and the unit had a clothes dryer that worked quickly! Loved the full-sized kitchen. They even have rice and water for guests! The layout felt spacious & very relaxing. The owners are welcoming and very responsive to messages.

It’s a bit of a walk to the nearest bus station, but—if you don’t feel like walking—Uber prices are reasonable here.

The apartment was compact, but was very modern, beautifully decorated and had everything you could possibly need for a short or extended stay. There is an elevator to each floor and 1 apartment per floor, so it felt very private. There were a lot of nice touches from the hosts like water bottles in the fridge, extra appliances and even rice in the lobby. We really liked the small tatami seating area in the bedroom and the rooftop terrace with sofas and tables were you could have a drink or have a bite to eat while watching the sunset. Bill, the host, was great with suggestions of what to see and was great at communication. We liked the quiet location, but just a few minutes walk to a small geisha district and the Kanazawa loop bus. It is definitely walkable to most of the sites of Kanazawa if you don’t want to take the bus. There is also a large shopping centre, Apita, just down the street where you can find pretty much anything you need and a good selection of freshly prepared food if you don’t feel like cooking. A little gem, was the small Yakitori restaurant next door, run solely by a sweet Japanese lady. They are small dishes, but excellently prepared and delicious. We loved everything about our stay at W & M House. Would definitely recommend!

Nothing not to like

This apartment was our favorite accommodation out of several places we stayed during three weeks in Japan. The apartment was comfortable and surprisingly spacious, and it had a nice bed and bedroom, excellent appliances in the kitchen, and lots of considerate touches like multi-language explanations for using things like the rice cooker and the washer and dryer. Also, Bill was a fantastic host, giving us a tour of the apartment and useful advice about the area. He also went out of his way to help us recover an item we forgot.

Friendly, helpful staff member, Bill. Beautifully clean facilities and the most comfortable beds we have had in Japan in 6 different hotels. Within walking distance to centre of city. A large supermarket/department store with eating places is approximately a 5 minute walk away.

Needs a disability railing in the toilet to make it perfect.

I cannot praise this accommodation enough. Bill, the host, designed the accommodation and truly thought of everything. Very comfortable double bed mattress. Two normal pillows and two memory foam pillows. Washing machine and dryer. All amenities you can think of, even bath salts. Proper drip coffee. We stayed for four nights, and could easily have stayed longer. The check in instructions and directions were so detailed, Bill also met us on site.

Simply one of the best apartments we have stayed in during a year of travelling. The location is great, about a 15-20 minute walk from the centre and near a bus stop. The apartment itself is beautifully furnished and super comfortable, the bed is amazing and there is a huge smart tv if you are spending more time inside. There is also a rooftop with a great view of the city and mountains. Bill is an amazing host and couldn't be a nicer guy. He welcomed us personally, left us some treats and drinks, and called us a taxi to the train station on our last day when it was raining. Would 100% stay again if we were back in Kanazawa.

An immaculate and spacious apartment that we would unhesitatingly recommend. Bill, the owner met us at the property and was friendly and very helpful. The roof terrace is a wonderful space and ideal for relaxing when the weather is mild. Excellent value - and a 'must stay' if we revisit Kanazawa.

Everything about the accommodation was perfect for us - our only problem related to bus numbers and routes. We found ourselves somewhat misplaced a couple of times - but that could have been our lack of prior research .... or old age befuddlement!!

I just fell in love with the apartment (6th floor) right after I'd opened the door. I had an amazing feeling that I am at home, I wanted to curl up on the couch and stay in this cozy nest for the whole 3 days. The apartment is super stylish, recently renovated, with modern furniture and a bunch of small decorations and other cute things for the comfort of guests - shelves, bowls, toiletries, etc. Fully equipped kitchen. Big comfy bed. Spacious wardrobe. Flawlessly clean everywhere! We were very surprised to see the... tumble dryer, I haven't seen it before in any accomodation here although it was my 4th trip to Japan. So handy, no mess with the laundry. A wonderful view of the city, especially from the roof, which is absolutely romantic at night - sitting on the bench, surrounded by the lanterns, looking at the city lights is pure magic ^^ There are a lot of shops and various attractions within walking distance, a nice walk along the river. Being here in January in the midst of a heavy snowstorm, it was pretty warm in the room - we used 2 heaters and an air conditioner (hopefully the electricity bill won't be too high!). There is a large refrigerator, free bottles of water and a box of delicious Japanese sweets. And the host, Bill, is such a nice, attentive and friendly person. A huge thank you for clearing the snow around our car so that we could hit the road without delay. Best place in Kanazawa. And Kanazawa itself is such a charming city. Highly recommend. We had a great stay and best memories here. THANK YOU! :3

It is very clean, large sized, nicely decorated, well-equipped and comfortable apartment— a perfect place for longer stay at Kanazawa. The owner provides all services necessary and beyond.

Two different bus stops to the hotel with the same name can be confusing.
