My stay at Masami’s place was excellent in all the right ways. The location was perfect; a five minute walk to Hatagaya station that can get you anywhere in tokyo in 25 minutes or less. There is a Lawson’s, 7-11, and Family Mart right around the corner, as well as a convenient vending machine just outside the building.
As for the apartment, it was extremely clean, cozy, and just the right size for one or two people. Masami is very helpful, providing a nice guide in English on how to use everything in the apartment (pictures included). She was also very responsive, friendly, and willing to help.
Overall, I found Masami’s place to be an excellent stay, and highly recommend it to anyone who wants a convenient and quiet apartment just minutes from the heart of Tokyo.
