Chie's house was very nice and cozy, and we had a lovely stay there! This was our first trip to Japan, and we had stayed in Nara the couple of days before our stay here, so we were not sure what to expect from this house in Tokyo. It was fairly small, but because there were only two of us staying there this was completely fine! It was very close to two stations nearby which was very convenient, and although it was down in an alleyway, we still felt very safe walking around at night in the area. There were also 3 different convenience stores within a 4 minute walk which was super nice! Also, we enjoyed that the air conditioning in the bedroom worked so well as it is very hot there in the summer, but we were able to stay super cool in our room. We only ended up seeing Chie once in the house as we were normally out and about during the day, but she was very nice and helped us with anything we needed.
There are a few things that I feel like people should note when staying here that are mentioned, but I felt like they should be emphasized. First, the house does look a little bit different and smaller than the photos on the listing convey. I don't think that this is a problem at all, but it would help to know exactly what to expect when getting there! The kitchen seems to have been remodeled a bit and is smaller than in the picture, also the living room looks smaller and there is no TV, as there is not really space for it (It says under "Amenities" that there is no TV but the picture of one makes it a little bit misleading if you don't see all of the amenities listed). Also, Chie does say this in her description but just make sure that you do know Chie will be in the house during working hours as her office is in the house! Again, this isn't a problem as she wont be a bother or anything like that, but it is good to note as the listing says you get the whole house, but you aren't necessarily alone the entire time.
Overall, it is an amazing stay for the price that you are paying, and Chie is a great host! Make sure that you read the listing carefully and note that it is a small house and the stairs are very steep indeed, but we felt that this was probably one of the best places we could have stayed in this area of Tokyo.
