This was a gem of a find for us. Not knowing Tokyo well at all, we didn't realize what a good, central location this would turn out to be. The apartment is a six-minute walk from a major train station that is close to many of Tokyo's attractions. But, it's also very quiet and secluded -- the best of both worlds.
Even given how tight space is in Japan, the apartment was very comfortable for three adults. The beds were especially comfortable! We appreciated having the coffee and coffee-maker available and even attempted a light load of laundry, despite the lack of English directions. The apartment was beautifully appointed -- very clean and uncluttered.
The only note I would give to non-Japanese speaking guests is that we had a bit of trouble finding the apartment, due largely to the fact that we arrived at night in the middle of a massive typhoon. We were juggling lots of luggage and dealing with inadequate umbrellas during hurricane-like conditions. We couldn't read the street signs and despite stopping twice for help with directions (once at the police station by the train station), no one seemed able to direct us, other than to gesture vaguely down one road. It turned out to be the correct street, and we fortunately recognized the building from the photo, but we came close to not finding it. The building is actually not on that road, but on a side road off of it, near the corner, but in a little bit. If you don't read Japanese, you might want to ask for additional guidance from Itoe.
Despite that hiccup at the beginning, we loved the apartment and the location. It gave us just what we needed -- a comfortable home away from home.
