I stayed here with two other friends and we all found the apartment to be a great value. First of all, Sumida city is a quiet suburban area that gives you a great sense of what suburban Tokyo looks like. The apartment is located about 7 mins from a subway station which makes it very convenient to move around the city. The apartment has a traditional Japanese theme which we, as western foreigners, found very interesting. The futons in the bedroom were also different to what we’re used to but we’re surprisingly comfortable and helped us get a good night’s sleep after walking all day around Tokyo. We visited Tokyo at the beginning of December when temperatures at night start to be cooler. The bedroom was prepared for this with an AC unit that kept the room warm at night. The living room initially didn’t have a heater but our host was very kind and brought one. The kitchen and bathroom were all very clean and equipped with basic utensils. I’d come back to this apt next time I visit Tokyo.
