Lots of shops, restaurants; minutes walk from the metro station. The flat is tucked in a couple of blocks from the main road; private, quiet. I was puzzled why other reviews complain about street noise. We stayed there a week; I once heard guests from the restaurant downstairs leaving late, but that did not bother us. There is no traffic downstairs; noise from the main street is too far to reach. Re ambulance sounds, we heard it faintly from the main road several times, but it was nowhere near the level one would be bothered by. I am a light sleeper and slept very well at this place.
The flat is very clean. Comes with manuals on appliances, trash sorting etc.
Check-in was easy, as Mickey sent 17-page directions and instructions. Make sure to follow the given directions, as we did not at first and online maps sent us several blocks off.
We could not connect to the wi-fi at first, and Mickey sorted it out very promptly.
Highly recommend the place for those who want to stay in Akihabara!
