Izumi was a wonderful host and came to pick us up with her car due to the rain. She also is incredibly responsive and immediately helped set up a kotatsu when the weather turned cold.
The listing was accurate and full of amenities that I hadn’t even thought about (e.g. ample towels, toiletries, disposable shavers, brushes, fully stocked kitchen utensils and cooking).
The apartment was spacious by Tokyo standards and neatly organized. It has a traditional Japanese feel but is also a newer construction so if you’re looking for a contemporary Japanese style apartment this definitely hits the mark.
Since the neighborhood is more residential in nature this seems better suited to families with ample convenience stores but the location lends itself to Skytree solamachi shopping mall access (which means ample food court choices) and is a central hub for express trains to other trendy areas of Tokyo.
