Mieca is a wonderful host. We had no trouble with communication even though we are American travelers without knowledge of the Japanese language. Shimokitazawa is a trendy, hipster neighborhood with plenty of food, shopping, and all around things to do. Initially, we didn’t realize how far the area was from Narita Airport, but Mieca’s step by step directions were very helpful and we really enjoyed exploring the neighborhood. The apartment itself was nice and cozy and had every amenity that we needed, and more. We were even able to do our laundry and hang it up to dry. Overall, I recommend Mieca’s place for your stay in Tokyo!
