Out of the 4 Airbnb home we stayed during our Japan trip, this is definitely one of the best. The home was close to Akihabara Station (and Akihabara itself, but far enough to be away from the noise. 7-Eleven is everywhere (and my family strangely loves their bento set).
Although we didn’t get to see the host, he has kindly communicated to check on us prior to the stay, to ensure we are ok and if we have any request or query.
On the home, it was perfect for our family of 7. The size is just right, not too crampy. The room never feel cold at all. Importantly the bathroom is comfortable and big, water is hot (it’s December and we are from hot Singapore), clean and complete. As the host advised, the home is on the 3rd floor with no lift. Staircase is narrow and although we have many large luggages, we didn’t have any problem carrying it up.
As for the neighbourhood, it’s near the major road but still quiet. It’s also only 7 mins walk to the Akihabara station, and 10 mins walk to Akihabara itself. Restaurants are everywhere. Akihabara is 2 stations away from Tokyo itself (but do avoid it during peak period with your luggages. Bad experience).
Overall we would rate the home 5 out of 5 stars.
Definitely will stay here again on our next Japan trip.
