We really enjoyed our stay! Mitsuko was super friendly and attentive, and even went out of her way to send us warnings about upcoming inclement weather. The photos show the place well, so it is on the smaller side, but the perfect place to recharge after a long day. The bathroom is tight, so you’ll likely spend time getting ready by the sink in the kitchen. There also is enough floor space to lay out two big 26” suitcases while you’re getting ready each day, and a really nice sized closet if you prefer to tuck those big suitcases away before leaving! The space is cozy and efficient providing all the essentials.
Regarding location: this space is in the sweetest neighborhood with a bustling main street leading to your local subway stop. Note that most shops and restaurants in the area won’t start opening up until 9 or 10, so if you’re an early bird, you’ll need to look around for breakfast. We loved Poem cafe nearby (if you don’t mind smoking.) You’re about 20 to 30 minutes away from major hotspots Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Harajuku, but still get the homey feeling of a quiet neighborhood. If you want to feel what it’s like to live in Japan, this is a great option. I’d love to stay here again :)
