Yukari & David's place was the third location we stayed in during our trip to Japan and it was an excellent stay overall. I would highly recommend this location to others but also want to encourage the owners on a couple of changes to make it even better for renters. More on that in a bit.
This is a new, exceptionally clean, three level home which also includes a rooftop terrace (which we did not use due to weather). On the first floor entry level, there is the shower area, a toilet, and a bedroom with a single twin sleeping area. The second level includes an excellent kitchen, and small living room with a toilet. The third level includes a single large sleeping room for four including a toilet. All sleeping rooms as well as the living room area all have air conditioning units which was huge given the hot humid weather during our trip. In addition, there is a washer-only unit for clothes on the front porch outside the home.
The kitchen was outstanding - a very roomy new refrigerator, compact dishwasher, microwave and small table were in the room, as well as all the kitchen supplies you would need. We did not cook meals, but you could easily do so, especially since there is an excellent Life Supermarket just a three minute walk away. The living room had a small couch and a very nice TV.
The location is great - only about 7 minutes or so from the Ikejiri-Ohashi subway station which is a single stop away from Shibuya. There are plenty of restaurants close by as well.
The home was very clean, well-appointed and comfortable for all of us.
Two things we wish were better during our experience had to do with a pest situation and our ability to wash clothes. Let me be clear, this listing indicates only a washer is available to clean clothes and that you have to dry them on racks. We really wish the owners would invest in a dryer which is really a necessity if travelers are packing light and also dealing with hot, humid and rainy weather. It just is not practical to try and dry clothes on racks in those conditions. The second had to do with a large cockroach we discovered in the kitchen on our first night. When I informed David about this, to his credit, he was incredibly responsive, bringing us bait and spray within an hour to deal with the pest, but it was still there a couple of days later. Thankfully it did not make too much of an appearance as it really made my wife and kids uncomfortable. While I understand the weather brings these things out, I am sure there are plenty of pest control services who could ensure the home stayed free of these bugs. Given the home is a perfect place to stay, it is a pity to have bugs like this present in the home.
