We rent apartment #301 at Calm Hatagaya, hosted by Masami san with her excellent house manual and all information we need to know in regards to the operation of appliances, surrounding areas, nearby transportation etc (and personal touch)
What we love:
1. Its very clean and highly organised. Clear signs and instructions visible all around the apartment.
2. Hatagaya is a good location to stay if you’re planning to visit major metropolitan areas in Tokyo (Shinjuku, Shibuya, Harajuku). Hatagaya Station is located around 5-10 mnts walk and it only takes 2 stops by train to reach Shinjuku Station (from Shinjuku you could practically go anywhere around Tokyo easily).
3. Great bathroom with cloth dryers and many other useful features.
4. Apartment close to local market with good selection of restaurants, mini-market
5. All amenities available just like the descriptions on the airbnb listing
Probably the only small issue that we had is the size of the apartment, which is not too large for 3 adults and 1 child with 3-4 baggages and a large stroller. However, its understandable considering that its in the prime area of Tokyo with close proximity to major train stations and tourist areas. We would definitely contact Masami again the next time we travel to Tokyo.
