How long should I wait to book home rentals?

I've bought my plane tickets for my family to come to Japan in fall of next year. I've been searching for house rentals for my stay in Tokyo and Osaka, and have been looking at both https://www.airbnb.com/ and https://www.roomorama.com/. I've noticed that sometimes the owners of a property sometimes take a listing down and it seems a bit more volatile than buying the plane tickets.
We are pretty excited, and want to make the most of our stay. Things we are looking at are:
We have many options in Tokyo, but Osaka is a bit more challenging. The number of home rentals is much smaller, and are either too small or too expensive.
This is the first time I've vacationed like this, but I think the home rentals would be a much better way to experience Japan than staying in a hotel.
We are pretty excited, and want to make the most of our stay. Things we are looking at are:
- Location--near a JR line, and near local restaurants
- Room--we are not small people, and our daughter needs a separate room
- Laundry--we need to keep luggage at a minimum so we'll need to wash clothes

How long do you stay? Have you tried other pages too?
