I had a great stay at Yasu's place. We didn't meet but he sent good instructions for checking in. The Airbnb location was directing me to a hotel called The B Tokyo Sangenjaya but once you get there you need to keep walking downhill on the same road until you reach a right turn, there's a Sukiya 24 hour food place on one corner and a 7 Eleven on the other. Walk along for 350 metres (takes 4 mins and there is a good little fruit and vegetable store on the way) until you see a construction site on the left and then it’s the tiny lane immediately after that. There’s about a footpath wide distance between your front door and the walls of the construction site. I missed that detail when I made me booking, it’s in the ‘Other Things to Note’ part of the description. Construction started up around 7-8 in the morning and finished around 5-6 in the evening. So if you’re planning to be out all day it won’t be a bother and your morning and evening time will be quiet. If you’re planning to stay long-term or to spend time working in the apartment then it could be a deal breaker. There were a couple of mornings when I wanted to work on my laptop in the apartment and the noise was an issue. They’re just working on the foundation now and it looks like it will be a big project. Something else if you’re thinking about a long-term stay, there isn’t a lot of natural light coming into the apartment and you don’t have any views. The window in the living room has frosted glass, the bedroom window backs onto a dark space behind buildings. It’s a downstairs apartment in an older building and there’s one other apartment upstairs. The old style has a wabi-sabi kind of charm to it and Yasu has made an effort with the decor and lighting. Because it's old the walls are pretty thin and there’s a sign asking you to keep quiet at night so as not to disturb the upstairs neighbours. I never really heard them so they are obviously pretty quiet people but the sounds of daily life are unavoidable, like toilets flushing or faint music. This place felt so spacious for one person! Toilet is a separate room to the shower/bathroom. Kitchen has two gas burners for cooking and a little gas pull out oven tray. For cooking there is one medium pot and one large fry pan, no lids. A small metal mixing bowl and a metal sieve. There’s also a microwave, fridge/freezer, kettle, coffee maker and a mini grill oven. You can walk to Shibuya in about 40 mins and part of that walk is along a peaceful pedestrian/cyclist green way that will also take you up to Gōtoku-ji. I enjoyed walking along there and seeing families with kids and elderly people tending flower gardens. You’ll find the green way if you walk...
