I can’t recommend this great apartment in Ueno highly enough. The apartment is very spacious by Japanese standards, including a large shower and two good sized bedrooms, the large living area was a big bonus, and the place easily accommodated our family of four for two weeks. The location is ideal, it’s definitely a very safe neighbourhood, and you are never more than a short walk away from public transport to get you around the city. Although a lot of things are within walking distance of the apartment. There are also a huge selection of food and drink outlets nearby catering for all budgets and there are numerous local supermarkets open 24/7.
YK, the host, is incredibly helpful and nothing is too much trouble, I received a really rapid response to any enquiry I had and I was really impressed by the interest he showed in our stay and whether we were happy with the apartment. If I was lucky enough to visit Tokyo again, I would definitely stay here and if you are wondering about where to stay if you come to Tokyo look no further.
