Yoshimi and Marek are wonderful. friendly, and quickly responsive in dealing with questions and requests. The apartment is small - as many Tokyo apartments are - consisting of a small bedroom, and an eat-in kitchen with a table for 2. For 4 people to sleep there, they would have to sleep side-by-side in the bedroom in a pretty cozy arrangement. The apartment is high-tech like many Japanese apartments and all the machines and panels of controls work like a charm. We really enjoyed the large bathroom (with Japanese-style bath) that converts to a drying room for laundry on rainy days. The apartment is very well-maintained and clean.

The neighborhood is charming and traditional, full of small alleyways with beautifully maintained potted plants, mini-gardens, 2-seater restaurants, and lanterns everywhere. There is a great gym on the main road for a month or longer stay. It takes 8-10 minutes of walking to get to Oshiage Station, from where the Tokyo metro can take you anywhere. Asakusa and the Skytree - important tourist attractions are really close, but the central areas of Tokyo such as Shibuya and Shinjuku will take a good 45 minutes to get to from home.
