This apt is in a great location! Lots of bars and restaurants, very lively neighborhood with young people, hip, you can walk anywhere you need even if you don't feel using the subway you can spend all your time in this neighborhood and you won't feel bored and will see Japanese people every day lives. The subway is literally 2 minutes walking, there is a grocery store 1 minute walk, there are clothing stores, cafes, restaurants, ramen places, late night bars, karaoke places everywhere within walking distance. I am from New York so I would compare it to Greenwich Village or Soho in New York. The host responds within minutes, is always there with any neighborhood or sightseeing info you need, and is ready to meet with you or bring you stuff when you need it. The place has everything you need, it has a balcony overlooking the main street, everything from umbrella to bottle opener to shampoo and extra pillows. The place is clean and typically Japanese small. Really small. But then so is everything else in Japan - from food portions to bars and pickup trucks everything is tiny. We had a great time and if we come to Tokyo again we are staying at this apartment again. If the host accepts us of course :)
