This is a cute little apartment with a Tottoro/Studio Ghibli theme. It is an easy short walk from Nishi-Ogikubo station and there are many restaurants and shops nearby. From Nishi-Ogikubo, you can easily take the Chuo line into Tokyo and be in Shinjuku in 15 minutes or so.
The apartment itself was clean and does have everything listed on the listing. It would be very tight with 3 people, I think, but easily big enough for 1or 2. It’s nice that it has a full bathtub if you’d like a Japanese style bath. The washing machine also worked well.
A few things could have been better:
- there were no hand towels
- no instructions on how to lay out the futons; most foreigners would need this
- the kitchen counter area is super small - there is no place to easily dry your dishes
- there is only one sink in the apartment, so you need to wash your hands and brush your teeth in the kitchen sink.
