Kevin is a great host with good communication. Within the Airbnb standards he displays one of the best Omotenashi in Japan. We stayed in three Airbnb apts during our trip this time and Kevin's place was the most accurate, clean, safe, convenient to a Family Mart & Bakery right off the NishiNippori train station and to the the JR Yamanote line train station (esp if you have the JR Rail Passes). As you walk to/from apt and station you get a nice view of the train tracks (JR, City rail, & Shinkansen) passing by against the back drop of the Skytree afar and local city. This area gives you a local Tokyoiets sense of living. There's even a bus stop right by the train station.
I appreciated the walking bridge connecting from the station side over the traffic to our walking route to/from the apt-can avoid the traffic lights.
The rooms were warm during the windy cold nights. Only thing was finding the apt the very first time was a bit wearisome because no street signs, but, follow Kevin's picture directions or your phone Google map and should be fine. Kevin gives good directions in checkin as well. It was the most easiest.
Only quarry I had was not having my morning coffees to get me awake and going. I went to the family mart but they did not sell the coffee capsules for the coffee maker in the apt (Nescafé Dolce Gusto machine). I was looking forward to trying that coffee in Japan. Will try next time.
Thank you, Kevin, for your Omotenashi.
