this place is amazing. The best air BnB I have been in in Japan so far by a long way. Katie and Hiro went above and beyond to help and assist when needed. They were friendly, helpful and generous hosts, showing how to use the electronics in the house and giving tips on travel plans.
The apartment was actually bigger compared to other BnBs I have stayed at and having the seperate kitchen area was great. It was immaculately clean and was so wonderful to be well stocked with all the basics you need - tea, coffee, milk and sugar were so welcoming when coming back after a long day. this is the first place in Japan I have had offer this. There is also all the necessities provided for cooking your own basic meals in the kitchen. It was great to be able to cook eggs for breakfast before going out for the day.
Having a washing machine was an amazing help and I don't know what I would have done without it, and all the hangers were provided.
The bathroom was very clean and welcoming with everything supplied again.
The bedroom was cosy and comfortable. It was great having the large cupboard to put luggage and hang clothes. The hosts have supplied an abundance of extra bedding in the cupboard which was clean, warm and so soft! there was even additional pillows of different varieties - hard and soft - to choose from! The beds were so comfortable and I slept very well. The blankets were amazing- like sleeping in clouds! the most important thing was that everything was so clean - thank you for that.
Having the table and stools was very handy and all the power boards available to charge our gadgets was great.
The hosts went above and beyond to post our phone chargers to our next location which we left behind in the apartment - thank you so much for your kindness!! we received them two days later.
The location was great - quaint, cute and quiet. It is a lovely residential area that really is cute. It is an easy walk to shinagawa station. If you have too much luggage to walk it is easy to catch a taxi from out front of shinagawa station to the apartment for only ¥490. Being so central to everything was great. Plus shinagawa has great restaurants shopping and vibe to it as well.
All the little added extras that made the apartment feel so welcoming and homely were a lovely touch and really made for a pleasant and smooth stay. Nothing was lacking.
Thank you for making our stay memorable and enjoyable. We will definitely be staying here again next time we come to Japan!
