Apartment was cosy but beautiful. Absolutely spotlessly clean and in a great out-of-the-way area with easy train access and plenty to do locally. Bedrooms lovely and stylish, although it could do with some curtains in the downstairs bedroom.
It’s not right in central Tokyo but trust me that’s a good thing. Access to the city is super quick and easy if you use Google Maps and get a Pasmo card.
Hosts were exceptional and went above and beyond our expectations. It was halfway between an Airbnb and a hotel, with fresh towels being brought round every day.
Mr T even came round on our second day to say hello and give us some delicious apple juice. There was also great tea and coffee in the house.
The apartment had both unlimited WiFi with decent speeds and a separate pocket WiFi which you can take around the city with you which is amazing. Has a 7GB limit (presumably per month?) We used about 0.5GB over our four nights.
No train noise inside the apartment whatsoever even though it’s fairly close to a track.
No traffic, although the occasional moped going past at various times and single glazing means you can hear passers by, although it’s not problematic.
Vending machine right outside with hot and cold coffees so great in the morning if you’re the one who got up late!
Great info provided by the hosts, and when Mr T dropped round he gave us a handy map of stuff to do in the local area.
On checkout Mr T turned up and insisted on giving us a lift to the station which was really nice of him!
Oh it has two toilets which was great and the shower is extremely nice!
If you’re looking for a residential area Airbnb then I would absolutely recommended this one. It was a really really enjoyable first experience of Japan for us.
