If you are looking for a nice quite part of Tokyo that is still in the heart of the city then look no further then Asakusa. The apartment we rented was a 5 minute bus ride from the shopping and temple area and other major attractions including the Tokyo Sky Tree. Tony was a great help and offered to drive us to the station and give us directions to the local attractions. The apartment was very clean and had enough room to comfortably sleep 4 people. A new grocery store just opened up less then a block away which comes in handy when you are looking for a place to buy groceries or alcohol. If you are looking for places to buy Japanese chief knifes and other cooking goods / souvenirs then take a quick bus ride and then walk to Kappabashi!
