We had a wonderful stay for 3 days. My family & I were traveling with 2 adults & 3 kids, 1 years old being our youngest. The home was clean, more than enough room to accommodate us, but the BEST thing about our stay was the SUPER comfy beds & linens! Wow! I haven’t slept that great for a long time! We give this place a A++++ for its location, cleanliness, affordability & overall stay. A few things to point out that I believe families should know.
1. You get the entire 3rd floor to yourself. This just means push floor 3 on the elevator & it opens directly into your place.
2. If you have a stroller expect a super tight fit trying to maneuver through the door. I’m not talking a normal sized stroller- even a pack & take stroller.
3. There is NO Netflix or Hubzu for the kids. Basic local channels. Be prepared for that.
4. The bathroom heater is delightful.
5. The travel WiFi is LIFE! Worked easily & didn’t die on us even after an entire day out.
6. The host stocks name brand shampoo, conditioner, body wash & soap. Even tooth brushes. Super convenient!
7. We found the BEST fresh bakery just 11 mins away. A short walk, but SO worth it. It’s called Bakery & Cafe Yamazaki.
8. Taxi’s are easier to use than an Uber. You WILL get used to the subway transit after a day.
9. Last, but not least - you will need CASH! Find a 7-11 or bank with a Japan Bank ATM (Green). Max you can take out at a time/ per card is $50,000 yen (around $450). You will spend through that easily.
