The good:
-Yasu is a WONDERFUL host. He is friendly, helpful, quick to respond, and very nice. His directions were great and we had no problem finding the place. We really enjoyed dealing with him. Check in and out were very easy.
-The apartment is a great size (for Tokyo) and is in a perfect location, near lots of good restaurants and public transit.
-The water pressure in the shower was great, and the shampoo and conditioner were really nice
The bad:
-The house is a little bit old and as a result, it has some issues.
-The apartment smells very damp, like mildew. It would become less noticeable when the air conditioning was on, but when you first enter the apartment, or come back after being out, the smell is very strong. With it being so humid and warm, you really notice how damp and how strong the odor is.
-The house is in need of a deep clean (there was dust all over the toilet and shelves in the bathroom, mold around the ceiling fan in the bathroom, the kitchen sink and counters needed cleaning)
-The washing machine is very loud when you use it, and put holes in a few of my husband's shirts. Make sure if you use it you put it on the delicate cycle.
This place has a lot going for it and could be really great with a bit of TLC.
