My family and I booked a last minute trip to Tokyo and this was the best place we could find. Unfortunately, this place isn’t fit for 6 people. I would say 5 people would be pushing it. There wasn’t enough room to open all of our luggages especially in the room on the third floor. We had to individually open our suitcase everyday and take turns in doing so.
Aside from this, a major telltale that this house isn’t fit for 6 pax is that by our second stay, the power started tripping off. We couldn’t use the microwave while having the heat on because the power would go off. We could hear the electric control box buzzing hard, almost as if telling us that it’s overloaded. We had to take turns using the heaters and appliances on/off. Including turning off some lights and the gas tank for the water heater when we didn’t use the faucet. We messaged the host regarding this issue especially during one time when the power didn’t come back on until some minutes after. However, there was no response re the issue.
The house is old and dusty, so much so that it triggered our allergies. We were sneezing our entire stay which made the experience all the more unpleasant for us.
Take note that there is a washer in the house and hangers are provided for, but there is no place/drying rack of any sort to hang your wet clothes. We had to improvise.
Finally, although the house is near the subway station (M24 Shin-otsuka Metro not a JR station) and many convenience stores and restaurants, it is far from the major attractions in Tokyo. It is 30 mins away from Shinjuku if you take the local subway train. Luckily, we have been to Tokyo before and are familiar with the train lines, and so we found that going to Ikebukuro and then hopping on a limited express train to Shinjuku/Shibuya was quicker.
Hope these honest inputs help.
