Ko was very generous in allowing me to check in early. I had asked if I could drop my bags off there before check-in, but due to the previous person leaving early he was able to clean the place in time for my arrival, which was above and beyond the call of duty. Nishi-Ogikubo is a delightful area and provides a welcome respite from the craziness of the centre of Tokyo. The apartment is spacious and comfortable, with some lovely design touches. Overall it’s excellent value. Noise is the only real negative, so light sleepers might be advised to look elsewhere.
