The Yanaka area is a relaxed and friendly area in the middle of the big city of Tokyo. Here, Hiro's appartment is a cosy place with easy access, only 15 min walk from Nippori station on the circle line (JR Yamanote). Next door to the public Sento bath, you will hear some sounds from the bath although not disturbing.
The appartment has all you need, including showers, although I would certainly recommend to do your bathing in the Sento.
The contact with Hiro is very easy via the Airbnb website and he quickly responsed to our questions.
I would absolutely recommend Hiro's place while exploring Tokyo and the local area is full of small shops, restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, etc. A perfect place to stay!
