Hisao's apartment was a wonderful Airbnb experience in Tokyo. It's in a quiet, residential neighbourhood with easy walking to two or three metro lines (including Yamanote at JR Nippori Station). There is a good ramen restaurant and convenient grocery stores nearby.
The space was comfortable for three adults, good value for any city, and exceptional for Tokyo.
Best of all is the slice of Japanese life you get staying here. Having a Kendo studio downstairs was a lot of fun, listening to the shouts during practice, and even watching some workouts.
One thing to know is that Hisao and his Kendo students come and go in the apartment sometimes, but we enjoyed the chance to say hi.
Hisao is a thoughtful host, providing hearty sandwiches every morning and even driving us to Nippori Station when we checked out.
I highly recommend this Airbnb accommodation, and only hope it's still available if I come back to Tokyo!
