The apartment is decorated with impeccable taste and unique antique accents mixed exquisitely with modern amenities. Very comfortable living space with all you need for a short stay.
When checking in, we had difficulty finding the apartment because our GPS was not accurate and we did not fully understand how the address system worked in Japan, but the people working in the convenience store located just around the corner were incredibly helpful and super friendly (every time we were there). If you are traveling light, there is a laundromat just across the street from the store, as well. Once we found the apartment, check-in was not a problem at all.
Another tip would be to pack light, as there are 2 steep staircases to navigate up once you arrive, so if you have any mobility impairments it may be difficult to navigate. The location is also at least a 10 minute walk from any subway station- but through a quiet and nice neighborhood, making it enjoyable.
The apartment is a little cold in the winter, and we needed to wear layers inside to be comfortable, but a small room heater helped that we were able to plug in from room to room. If you book in the winter, just be prepared to pack a few extra layers.
The owners are SUPER responsive and lovely to communicate with- I can’t say enough good things about their recommendations from tours to restaurants.
The ladies in the shop space underneath the apartment are very kind, and we enjoyed talking with them. (They also sell vegan and gluten free muffins that are yummy!)
We loved being in this (super quiet) location for the time we were in Asakusa, and would definitely recommend to others.
