Playsis Asakusa was a unique experience in Japan. The place definitely had a Japanese environment which was nice. The communal lobby with the kitchen, TV, and laundry was a great gathering place for meeting other people staying in the same building. I got suggestions, attractions, and advice from other guests just lounging in the lobby. There was no elevator so if you have a lot of luggage, be prepared to haul it up a narrow stairwell. Otherwise try to book one of Playsis's "Barrier-free" rooms located on the first floor. Check-in process was slow due to the verification process. You have to be confirmed via video chat in the lobby before given your room code. Overall the location is perfect with a 10-15 min walk to the subway, a 5 min walk to the bus stop, and 15-20 min walk to local restaurants, shops, and attractions. Playsis was also very accommodating and flexible when we extended our reservation to stay in our room longer.
