Pros:
- Great location. Easy to walk to the station and the Ueno Park. Tons of great restaurants nearby. A few convenience stores within a 2 minute walk.
- Bed was very comfortable, couch and tv made it great to relax at the end of the night
- Eric is a fantastic host and was very responsive.
Cons:
- Unfortunately, the building has a strong sewer smell. Eric was great at trying to find ways to remedy this, but despite having the windows open, it still was very noticeable.
- Maybe it's because the windows were open all the time, but it can be pretty loud at night. I was woken up a few times at night by honking, people yelling, etc.
- The building is under construction and there's a new building being built right next door, so there was construction noises early in the morning
If the sewer smell was resolved, I would say this was a 9.5/10 apartment since you could keep the windows closed at night. But as it stands now, I think it's very expensive for what is offered.
