Pros: Great area. 6,7 min walk from a major station Nippori that can be used to access Yamanote line, Keihin Tohoku line and a rapid skyliner train to Narita Airport. Clean facility, can tell the owners have a high aesthetic sensibility. Nice bathroom, kitchen, and tub. Clean modern refrigerator. Washer dryer downstairs, nice lounge/ work area. Very quiet neighborhood surrounded by temples, and very quiet inside as well.
Minor Cons: A little dim with the lighting, and not able to open frosted windows so you do get a feeling of being enclosed in the room a bit. No microwave in room. No trash collection until you leave. I wasn’t planning on cooking, but if you plan on saving money by cooking you would really have to be mindful of the amount of trash you generate. You can have them pick up trash before checkout, but it costs extra.
I don’t know if this is because I went during a very slow time for Japanese tourism, but there wasn’t really that friendly staff member that gives you neighborhood pointers that they show in the photos. On the few occasions staff were there, it was mostly a teenage girl that didn’t look up from her smartphone even to say hi so that felt a little off.
Overall though, this was a great stay. Nice area, clean amenities, I got a great price and served as a highly aesthetic, clean, home base while I conducted business in Tokyo. I would recommend for business and pleasure.
