Yu & Joel’s place in Meguro is a fantastic, modern studio apartment for two people to stay at, with a really nice bathroom. Yu and Joel were both proactive, prompt, and friendly in communicating with us. We would definitely come stay here again!
Check-in was really quick and painless thanks to the detailed instructions we got from Yu. The apartment itself is in a nice neighbourhood, 10 mins downhill walk from Meguro station (目黒駅). When we entered, the place was just as we saw in the photos: bright, clean and tastefully decorated. Our hosts had even put in a nice, big bottle of mineral water in the fridge for us along with a little welcome gift of Japanese tea for us to take back with us.
Although the apartment was not large, it didn’t feel small or cramped like many other apartments we’ve stayed at in Japan.
The feather in its cap is definitely the large, bright bathroom with an amazing shower. We’ve stayed in 3 apartments in Tokyo over the last week and a half and this was by far the best bathroom experience. One wrinkle was that the bathroom had a motion-sensing light that had a very short timer, and turned off every 30 seconds or so. So, it turned off for us even when we were brushing our teeth or using the toilet, though any slight movement turned it back on. A manual light switch would probably be more convenient.
