Must stay apartment when in Tokyo. Large living area on the first floor and then a large bedroom on the second floor! Can easily fit big groups, and unlike other places for this budget, allows for guests to hang out in a living area.
The bar on the bottom floor has a reputation as a trendy spot, and provides easy communication between guests and the host. Host was phenomenal and offered assistance with places to go. Check in and out was flexible.
Location is great too. 30 min walk from Shibuya Crossing, or 10 mins on the Metro, which is a stones throw away. Similar distances to Harijuku and Shinjuku. You literally have shops and food options across the road.
Cannot recommend highly enough!!! For the sake of completeness , there is a slight smell of smoke in the apartment, however that was barely noticeable after a short while. Also guests need to be somewhat conscious of noise late at night, as it is a more residential area.
Highly, Highly Recommended! Hope to stay again some time soon!
