Travellng alone, I booked this apartment to set my trip on the right foot. And it worked. From the hosting to location to house itself, six stars.
1) Incredible home. One of a kind, considering that most wooden structures were burnt down in Tokyo during WW2.
2) Beautifully renovated and maintained, with a true architect's eye towards design. Minimal, but inviting and warm. The center beam across the apartment is wonderful.
3) Marvelous hosts, with the best hospitality I have experienced in Japan. From recommendations to special requests for luggage storage, they attempted to meet every need without complaint.
