loved this apartment--spotless, modern, well-appointed and situated in a neighborhood of one-off coffee bars and interesting hole-in-the-wall eateries. i regret running out of time for the grilled meats shop and its motsunabe! sake shop/bar at airbnb entrance was closed during my stay, another regret. family mart at the end of the block was hugely convenient for snacks and large bottled water. it's an easy 10- to 11-minute walk to nakano station, with easy access from there to other points on the west side of tokyo. i couldn't get a taxi on my rainy last day, so i took one of the clear plastic umbrellas provided and asked yuki to charge me for it. she quickly sent a friendly note saying there was no extra charge. would def stay here again.
