Our stay at Casa Matsubara was very enjoyable. We loved the calm laid back atmosphere of Higashi-Matsubara area and enjoyed just walking around. The apartment is also just a stone’s throw away from the hip and lively Shimo-kitazawa. Traveling to and from the city is very easy and the station is very close. Though it is probably best to buy a SUICA or PASMO pass for your stay as the Keio line that comes to the station is not part of the Tokyo subway system. With one of the two the changes are effortless.
Communicating was easy and fast. The apartment had a super efficient heater which was a nice surprise as we traveled during the colder months. Overall, great compact apartment!
