Perfect place to stay in Tokyo, just a few minute walk from the Ueno railway station, being one of the greatest railway station in the city. Some Shinkansen trains stop there, the loop line included in the JR Pass goes through it, and it’s also just 4 stations from Tokyo, where you can catch Narita Express. The flat is also close to 2 other metro stations, including Asakusa, close to which you can find a couple of nice and cheap restaurants. It’s very close to the famous Senso-ji temple and on the nearby street you have a beautiful view of the Skytree. On the way from the Ueno station to the flat, you can easily find a few convenient stores.
The flat is very spacious and extremely clean. We were a family of 4 staying there, and we felt comfortably using 2 bedrooms and a living room. You can find there everything you need for a couple of days in Tokyo. The building has a lift, so no worries about carrying your suitcases upstairs. I booked the flat 11 months before the stay, and I suppose due to all its pros it’s heavily occupied by tourists, so I suppose you need to decide far in advance.
The communication with the host was great. Not only he answered all the questions quickly and accurately, but also provided us with an access to the entire webpage on the flat and its close neighborhood. We spent there 5 days, heaving enough time to explore Tokyo and go on the side trips to Nikko and Hakone. We have only great memories of both the apartment and the host.
