My son and I had a great time staying at Daisuke's Green Apt in Shimokitazawa! Daisuke was very responsive starting from my first inquiry and throughout our entire stay, giving us great recommendations and checking in to make sure we were ok while in Tokyo. The apartment is in the best location - just minutes away from a train station, a large supermarket and literally surrounded by great cafes, restaurants, bars and shops. Just on the same block you can find a great donut shop, ramen shop, organic yakitori place and cool basement bar called RPM. The apartment has all of the basics you need and a super comfy bed! Daisuke provided snacks and drinks in the fridge upon arrival which was a really nice touch. I highly recommend staying in any of Daisuke's apartments because he is an amazing host and a great, super clear communicator which was important to me. I was so happy to discover Shimokitazawa through this apartment, as it was in the heart of the best neighborhoods in Tokyo (in my opinion as a native New Yorker!) Everything about the area is unique and special - something that the other more commercial neighborhoods lack, yet you are only a few train stops away from those neighborhoods like Shibuya and Shinjuku which of course are a must. Highly recommended apartment and host!
