I stayed at Yanaka Sow for three days and greatly enjoyed it. The Yanaka neighborhood is quiet, peaceful, and mostly residential. The main feature is that it has a large cemetery, and Yanaka Sow is basically right in the middle of it. Because of this, it feels quiet and contemplative. The residential area nearby is pleasant to walk through. There are some small grocery stores and supermarkets within 5-10 minutes walk, which was convenient. You are also near Yanaka Ginza, a nice shopping street, and Nippori Station on the Yamanote Line, which enables you to get to the rest of Tokyo quite easily. The room itself was pleasant, clean, and stylish. The windows are frosted so you can't see outside, but it does let in some light. The kitchen was nice, with some additional amenities in the lobby. (For example, my room didn't have a microwave, but it was no trouble to walk downstairs and use the one in the lobby.) Overall, I found the stay pleasant and relaxing. I recommend it.
