This place is in a perfect location. Walking distance to tons of restaurants and sites. Very close to subway station.
The home was clean and as pictured in the photos. It is like a very large hotel room. But perfect for a family needing extra space to spread out or friends trip.
The bathroom was small as stated in other reviews but it was fine for us as there are tons of mirrors and space around the apartment to get ready once you finish showering.
The kitchen had everything for basic cooking. They had a large bottle of water and ice in the refrigerator for us when we arrived.
It has the best foot massage machine I ever experienced. We loved it. I need to find out where to buy it :). They also had pocket WiFi that you could take and use with you out and about in Tokyo. I think a great addition for international travelers that don’t have cell service. Unfortunately it didn’t work. It wouldn’t even turn on. We couldn’t get the wifi to work the entire stay. Not a big deal for us but may be for others.
There is an extensive set of rules they give you for staying there. Mostly about being quiet and no extra guests or parties as others live in the building. Not a big deal for us as it was just our family. The rules are sent upon booking and then resent on confirmation and then posted in the apartment.
Apparently rules don’t apply to everyone because the apartment on the 4th floor that is also an air bnb rented out by the same owner had a large party going on when we arrived. It was very loud. Not a big deal at first because we were in and out. But this party continued until about 11pm then it got quiet. Seems it only got quiet because the people went out. When they returned at 430am they came back yelling and laughing and woke my entire family up. I was very turned off by this as we were so concerned with keeping our toddler quiet to obey the rules and they were having a large party and signs posted everywhere to be quiet and that was not the case.
I messaged the owner about the noise and never got any response. The communication was not very good. The rules clearly state to let them know when you check in and we did and it took them over 24 hours to respond. I’m not sure if we had an actual issue and needed assistance if they would have responded.
Overall the location is great and the apartment was what we expected.
