Our ‘home’ for four nights in Tokyo was one of a group of AirBnB offerings in a six-story building a few minutes’ walk from Komagome Station on Japan Railways’ “circle line.” The location gives excellent access via rail and subway to all of central Tokyo. Our modest flat was not ‘luxe,’ but it was certainly comfortable – the two beds especially. The linen was clean and fresh, there was a state-of-the-art shower and toilet, a sink and hotplate, two efficient heating-cooling units, and nice lighting from a large window.
I should note that although we never met our hosts in person, their expectations and arrangements were clearly stated in e-mail communications and a ‘do’s and don’ts’ note posted in our flat, #603. They were flexible when events beyond our control delayed our arrival for a day. On our first night, we were disappointed by a weak wi-fi connection; dialogue with our hosts, Myoko san soon got us access to a much more reliable wifi. We would choose to stay here again.
