We just got back from Tokyo and stayed for 7 nights at Rintaro’s house. First of all I am always biased towards Sangenjaya so I tend to choose properties there due to its proximity to Shibuya and beyond plus the 24-hour supermarket Seiyu right by the station. Property was as is on the photos with interesting lamps hanging off the ceiling. Place was clean and equipped with all the basics and spacious for the two of us. Two things I would caution about this place - one, the bathroom is upstairs and the bedroom is downstairs. As seen in the photo there are no handrails on the stairs so it was a bit scary going up and down the stairs in the middle of the night w/o nothing to hold onto! Secondly the walls are so thin you can literally hear people conversing outside the window. Bdrm is on the ground floor and window looks right out to the alley street where many pedestrians walk by. Also right across from the house is the back storage to a mini mart so you can hear them making some kind of ruckus sound in the morning. Other than that we loved the area and location and most of all the host was a prompt communicator! He would reply in under 15 min max! I don’t think I’ve met a host who was this prompt! 5 stars for that. Thank you Rintaro san for hosting us!
