We had a fabulous stay at Kentaro & Family’s place. It was lovely and quiet, air conditioning worked well. There were screens at the balcony doors to prevent mosquitoes coming in.
The beds were comfortable; slept so well! The kitchen was great - the toaster can be found in the drawer in the middle of the oven.
Snacks were thoughtfully left, along with pasta sauce, green tea bags/ coffee etc. In the bathroom many accessories were in the cupboard under the sink, such as toothbrushes, cotton buds. Umbrellas are also by the front door which is very helpful! One thing to note - make sure you lock the door on the keypad as we thought it happened automatically when we left!
There is a washing machine/ dryer but we were never in long enough to put it on (4 hours for a complete wash/ dry). There is a washing line on the balcony.
It is in a perfect location to all train services. Near Asakusa where you’ll find the oldest Temple in Tokyo. Ueno is great - we ate at a fantastic buffet restaurant and did karaoke nearby. There’s lots of shops and plenty to do.
It was our second trip to Japan and the first time we stayed Air BnB but we would love to return to this wonderful apartment.
Kentaro is extremely responsive and came to collect the rubbish. I thoroughly recommend this apartment!
