A fantastic location in the heart of Tokyo. It has the advantage of being right in the centre of a nice village with shops and restaurants but yet is very quiet as the local roads are narrow and pedestrian-friendly. We were travelling with two young children and found the closeness to the Omote-sando metro station a benefit as they got tired of walking later in the week. Early on we easily walked out to the north to Harajuku, the Meiji shrine and Takeshita street, and took the short hop to Shibuya on the metro and walked the surrounding area, and later on we were doing day trips to Hakone/Mt Fuji and Disney, which is easy with the three lines at Omote-sando.
The apartment is well appointed - adequate for breakfasts but not really for self-catering. It lacks a sofa for chilling in the evening but we spent most of our time out for dinner in any case. The front bedroom is outside the door of the apartment but within the secured hallway of the hosts' house. This meant that we had to leave the door to the apartment open in case our children needed us in the night, but it was not a problem. Like other reviewers, we liked the shower and of course the novelty of a Japanese toilet!
All in all, we would recommend this property, particularly for a couple who would have less need for the front bedroom, but certainly for small families like us on a budget. The location is excellent, and we would return to the same property again without hesitation.
Taeko and her husband were lovely hosts, provided some pastries for us on arrival from the UK which were perfect when the kids woke with jetlag on the first night. They then left us to our own devices for the rest of the week, so we could make the space our home away from home. The guest information has lots of recommendations for restaurants and shopping, but nowadays the internet makes travelling so easy in Japan that we didn't need much more info from the hosts.
