Excellent host and very confortable apartment! It was so convenient that I decided to lengthen my stay!
This little place in the heart of Tokyo is extremely well located, with two subway stations at walking distance, multiple convenience stores around, and just a short walk away from one of the most popular and fun areas of Tokyo.
Shizuka-san is an amazing host, very responsive and helpful! I decided mid-trip to stay a little longer in Tokyo, and Shizuka-san was incredibly accommodating and patient with my when I had trouble paying for the extra days. She gave me time to sort my issues and made sure I was able to pay through AirBnB, for both her safety and mine. Very reliable! She also speaks perfect English, which may be a relief to many international travellers.
The apartment is very clean and well-kept, and relatively spacious for both the price and its centralised location. I was able to fit two large suitcases in the closet no problem, and had plenty of space to feel at ease, unlike some other smaller places I've stayed at in Tokyo that have made me feel a little claustrophobic. I was initially planning on staying only a couple of weeks, but seeing how confortable I was and upon checking that the apartment was available, I decided to stay for longer.
It's a great place of both short and long-term stays. There is no washing machine, but there is a coin laundry literally two doors down the road so I had no problem washing my clothes. If I absolutely had to think of something to complain, I'd say the kitchen is a bit small. There is only one hob and not a lot of counter space, so making large meals is not very easy —a thing to keep in mind for long-term travellers who enjoy cooking. But honestly there are so many restaurants and convenience stores around that I didn't really have any problems with food during my stay.
I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good and affordable option in Japan, where you're staying the night or doing a 3-month long Japanese course!
