bonebag 0 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 This last season I did self-catering for the first time. No going back for me. It was so much more relaxing, surprisingly. We chose a fairly expensive place up in Niseko, enjoyed going out for meals. The only thing really we missed was a big breakfast, but we got that elsewhere too. Link to post Share on other sites
John_Janelle 0 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 We have 2 boys aged 16 and 14. Probably the first things we look for in accommodation are a reasonably equipped kitchen(enough to cook basic meals and breakfast), a washing machine. Next is location. A 10 to 15 minute walk from shops and restraunts is about as far away as we would choose. So finding somewhere that fits the above criteria is our first prefernce, then we just try to pick a price that we are happy with. The price is only determined by where we are going and the going rate for the area. Sometimes we will pay a little extra to be closer to things for convenience. When we booked our Hirafu accom. we also wanted english sat tv, as one of us was not boarding. John. Link to post Share on other sites

ILoveZao 8 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Maybe for you. It would cause me problems. Certainly enough to not choose a place that doesn't have it. Link to post Share on other sites

panhead_pete 27 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 In this day and age does everyone travel with a laptop/crackberry/enabled phone and no need for a computer in the place? Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 no....I look forward to get away from that crap Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Reality is, lots of people need it. And increasingly so. I would say a computer in the place is a good idea for the foreseeable future. Link to post Share on other sites
