Th apartment was in a sort of bar / club area, but tucked away so you weren't too bothered by that. Great if you want to use those facilities as it's easy to get home afterwards.

The apartment was compact; just a small corridor lined on the left hand side with cupboards, sink, hob, fridge, with a microwave and kettle on top. On the right hand side was the toilet, and separately, a bathroom. The floor of the bathroom doubled as the floor of the shower - so when you close the door, the entire bathroom is the shower space. I get the impression this is common in Japan.

The bedroom has a double bed and about 2 feet of space around it. There's low down, Japanese style table in the corner (there are no chairs in the apartment).

The portable wifi was a GREAT addition. It provides 1gb of data per day.

Shibuya station is just under 10mins walk away, and on the yamanote line, which is the most convenient for sightseeing.

There is a Lawson convenience store 3 mins walk away for great cheap groceries like Onigiri, ready boiled eggs, bags of fresh salted edamame, dango etc (eating out is Japan can be v expensive). Great when you are on the go.

Taku provided me with a PDF file with instructions on how to find the apartment. This was good in principle, but the file needed updating as the yellow "DVD" store is no longer there. The sign says something else, but is still yellow, which is how I eventually found my way after wondering around in the rain for 20 mins.

I paid £28 per night in late September - early October for this place, which is definitely fair!

Overall it was a good stay. Before I booked, I was considering staying with a host family. I am glad I did not, as it would have been more restrictive with location and meals. Also, I my jet lag kept me up some nights, which would have been inconvenient for host families.

If you have a big time change as I did (UK time), I recommend having your own private space as you might just really need it. I recommend choosing a place with a balcony like this one, as you can just look out onto the light of the city when you can't sleep. It was lovely!

I'm glad I have done Shibuya. I would like to try out a new area next time. That said, I would recommend Taku's place, especially when it's low season and you can get it for £28 per night as I did.
