Charles‘ place is a small and cosy apartment in a 6 apartment building located in the quite and beautiful residential area of Sumida. It’s equipped with all basic necessities including a pocket WiFi. Charles is very helpful and responsive and the check-in smooth.
The only downside of the apartment are the thin walls and ceilings. If you’re a light sleeper this may be a problem (we heard the upstairs neighbors snore…). Maybe it’s better when you rent one of the upstairs apartments, though.
Sumida is a very nice area to arrive in Tokyo. It’s a quite residential area that is a good starting point to explore the city: 24h konbinis around the corner, nice Ramen shops and Izakayas, Skytree is in 20 min walking distance and beautiful Asakusa in about 40. Hikifune station for public transport is 7 minutes away.
The apartment is nice, small and practical. We had everything we needed. Only downside: soundproofing.
Charles was super nice and very responsive. Besides providing perfect directions and explanations he also gave us tips and answered general questions about arriving in Tokyo.
