What was great about this place were all of the little nice touches that added to the apartment!! For a Tokyo apartment, it felt spacious, lots of light, great view on the balcony, and really good air conditioning. I think the the thing that I appreciated the most was the “house manual”- not just a ‘set of rules’, its clear that they put time and thought into creating it and include all kinds of great recommendations for local shops, restaurants, and things to do close to the house. There are several good restaurants that start on a little avenue right across the street. We followed their recommendations for a few restaurants, including “Heart’s light” for coffee right across the street that was great!
One of the things that attracted us to the place was that they made 3 bikes available- and while we didn’t end up using them it was nice to have them there! I also thought the pocket wifi was a very nice value add- we have t-mobile which gives us 2G for free internationally, but it is very slow- so it was nice to be able to connect to faster LTE on the go without having to pay extra for it! We used that to find other nice restaurants and shops while on the go.
I also enjoyed other nice touches like the mini-bar setup they created- you can’t even find those in hotels anymore! I also like that they gave the option of just replacing what you take by going and buying the same items if you don’t want to leave a few coins. Lastly, they also had a bookshelf with some relevant books to the area, and a whole collection of CD’s to use (complete with many genres: american rock, japanese, classical)!
We really enjoyed staying at this place, and Shibuya was our favorite neighborhood that we stayed at in Tokyo! Thank you 😊
