We had a great time at Yuri’s place. We stayed for a week in August 2018. Yuri’s place was very clean and a lot bigger than we had expected.
The 9 min walk to Shibuya Station wasn’t too bad without luggage (we walked there daily). If you do have a lot of heavy luggage (like we did on the first and last day there), you may want to consider taking a taxi from the station to the house or carefully map out the directions prior because even with the photo directions that Yuri provided us (thank goodness for those or we wouldn’t have found the place), we still got lost finding the place for the first time during the busy hour in the hot humid heat pushing our huge suitcases uphill to the house.
What we liked most was the fact that the place had 4 toilets - fancy toilets too). The place was very well decorated. We did not cook there but the refrigerator and microwave worked very well. It was also nice to have working AC and the portable WiFi as well. Yuri even left us some umbrellas which we ended up needing due to the typhoon.
