I’ve stayed in multiple airbnbs in Tokyo over the years but this was the best stay I’ve ever had! Ko-san was super kind, thoughtful, quick to respond to all requests and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable with our four months old baby.
I’m a Japanese local who previously lived in Tokyo for 15 years before moving to the US, so I know this city inside and out. This airbnb is located in a prime location yet quiet residential pocket where it has convenient on-foot access to many of the cool Tokyo neighborhoods. Also there are tons of cabs in the area, you can grab a car within a minute. This was a major selling point for us, with the pandemic we didn’t know what to expect when we booked our travels and we wanted to have an option to minimize travel on crowded trains. I took a stroller and I was able to comfortably walk to Shibuya, Harajuku, Omotesando, Ebisu, Roppongi, Daikanyama and Hiroo to enjoy dining experiences, visiting museum, shopping and more - all in <15 mins radius. Otherwise, Shibuya station is a big terminal station that’ll give you all the access to anywhere in Tokyo.
This airbnb is also on the calmer side of Shibuya, so it’s in a convenient location yet you can avoid the big crowd and nosiness of night clubs, bars that are open all night.
The house is spacious that it has an office if you’d like to remote work, three bedrooms and it even has a playroom for kids. If you’d like to have a comfort of staying at home with kiddos for some evenings, you can Uber Eats from all the great Tokyo eateries, you have access to a big supermarket that’s open till 11pm which is two mins walk away, also depachika in Scramble square and Hikarie is 7 mins walk away if you’d like to get restaurant quality deli and premium bento boxes (Depachika is food heaven on the underground floor of department stores- it’s a thing in Japan and if you’ve never been, I’d highly recommend you to try it). Also there are tons of great eateries, restaurants and ramen stands very close to this airbnb.
It was also convenient that this airbnb allowed receiving packages during the stay. We ordered diapers on Amazon, and baby goods like car seats from rental services so that we don’t need to carry all the items during our travels. We were able to send our luggage directly to the airbnb so that we didn’t need to move around the city with big suitcases.
Overall, we had a fantastic stay at Ko’s. I’d wholeheartedly recommend this place to any family who is visiting Tokyo!
