I’ve stayed in several Airbnb apartments in Tokyo, and I’d say this is the best apartment.
The interior is modern, sleek, clean, perfect for one person, or even two people. Japanese apartments tend to be small, but this one is well equipped with appliances and has well thought out layout, with decent storage space.
Yu and his team had been great taking care of my needs and thoughtfully left guidebooks on Tokyo, not the generic ones about Asakusa or Shibuya, but foodie ones about ramen and the area the apartment is in.
The apartnent’s location might not look convenient at first, but with the Yamanote line and the Nanboku line, you can get to anywhere in Tokyo within half an hour or so.
The area is well served by a variety of restaurants and grocery stores. There are at least five big supermarkets at the station, including one selling organic foodstuff. Just on the 7- minute walk to the station, I pass by two local supermarkets (one just steps away), two 7-11s, two Indian restos, an Italian, a Chinese, a famous soba resto, and a temple with a Buddha statue that’s certified national treasure.
In Meguro, there’s a street with great local options. And nakameguro, with fancier restos and the world’s largest Starbucks roastery, is just a short bus ride away. Think of the choices.
I’d highly recommend this place, and would happily stay in it next time I’m in Tokyo.
