The apartment was cozy and homey. It was also bright and airy just as I had hope for. The pictures and description are just as shown on the listing. It's a good place to live in if you want to have a full experience of a typical quiet Tokyo neighbourhood instead of staying in the tourists-populated Shinjuku. In other words, you get to experience the best of both worlds - the hustle and bustle of Shhinjuku (which is a station away) and still come home to a typical Tokyo neighbourhood. Also, Aileen was a kind host. My family and I got everything we needed throughout the stay. I would definitely come back in the future if given the chance.
