Ko’s apartment is very comfortable, well-equipped and has real ‘Tokyo style’. The deep free-standing bath is the perfect antidote to jet lag! Nishi-Ogikubo is a lovely (and lively) neighbourhood and the place is right next door to the station with quick and easy access to central Tokyo. Ko is a very helpful and friendly host. We found the noise of the station nearby atmospheric rather than a nuisance; the only negative for us was the lack of outlook (not uncommon in Tokyo where houses are built very close to each other) so the flat sometimes felt a bit claustrophobic. Definitely a memorable place to stay in a special part of Tokyo.
