Leopalace21 - Part 2
Mar 29 2009 21:21 | 59 Comments
Finally got around to writing this article. Should’ve probably done it sooner, but better late then never. Not entirely sure why, but for some reason, when I just moved in, didn’t take any photos of the apartment. I did however, take a few random shots before moving out.
So then, what do you get in an apartment like this? Well, not much. If you’re expecting a penthouse, this isn’t for you, but for someone just looking for a nice, relatively cheap place to stay, this is probably as good as you’re gonna get in Japan, I think. What you do get, is a small, fully furnished apartment.
In the “big” room there is a bed which you have to climb to by way of stairs. Each of the steps opens up to reveal a small compartment for storing whatever you need. Under the bed itself there is also plenty of space to store things. There is also a decent sized closet, though you have to buy the hangers yourself.
You get a medium sized TV, in my case a fat one, as this building was built in 2005. I’m guessing the newer apartments which were built in 2008 and on, have flat panels. In the room, attached to one wall there is a foldaway desk with 2 chairs. In my case the desk was covered with cans from all the tasty beverages. Probably spent more money on canned drinks in the first two month there then in all my previous life.
A small hallway, from the entrance to the main room.
The “kitchen”. Not big by any standards, but if you’re living by yourself, enough to make something small to eat. Better then nothing.
You do get a washing machine.
Good luck getting any washing done.
Small fridge, a microwave. Both very much so usable. The toilet really intrigued me. On the top of the cistern, there is a small sink. When you flush the toilet, (clean) water starts coming out of the faucet built into the sink giving you a chance to use it to wash your hands before it goes it goes to waste while washing your poo away during the next flush.
The whole shower area is, more or less, one piece. The appliance on the ceiling blows warm air letting you dry your clothes if for whatever reason you can’t hang them outside.
The door in the wall reveals a small closet of sorts.
Would I stay in such an apartment again? If it’s just for a few month, most definitely. If it’s for a year or more, probably not. If all you’re looking for, is a decent place to live for a few month, this is definitely a great choice.

So then, where would you recommend for a year? thats how long my working holiday visa lasts

@Joe,
Honestly, not entirely sure. From what I saw, you can find quite a few good properties over at minimini.jp. But the reason why I say that if I stayed in one apartment for longer I probably wouldn't go with them is because more or less, all of their apartments and buildings are identical, so if I was staying for that long, I'd personally like to have more options for what the apartment will look like.
But I mean if this would be your first time with Leopalace21, and if you're fine with everyone else in the building living in a completely identical apartment, then this company would be as great I think.

great pics. Gives a good view of the place. Do you have a drawing of the plan though? would love to see one! (I'm an architectural engineer, kind of the reason for the weird request :P). How many squaremeters was the apartment?
Cheers,
Morten

@Morten Kristiansen,
Of course! You can see a plan, along with the size of the specific building I lived in here.

Smart place to live Michael. Liked the way the toilet works. Water conservation should be taken as seriously as carbon emissions itself. What was your purpose of visit to Nagoya, if I may ask?

I am looking for an apartment now and a friend gave me this leopalace brochure. How much was your rent, common fees (water) electric etc per month in that apartment and where is it located? did you went for an agency or went directly to leopalace's office.
Thanx in advance for your reply.

@Hatori, If its just a friend, probably not, if a significant other, then most definitely :p

Every one on internet searches for impressive content. Its very unfortunate with most of the websites published posts that are boring and out of context articles, just to show that new material is being published. Contrary to that immoral practice, this article is a impressive-written article.
meself just wanted to drop you a comment to say keep up da good work.
