My stay with Mikako can only be described as "perfect" with "personalized touch".
The communication with Mikako was prompt and clear from the beginning when I first made my inquiry. Mikako provided detailed explanations and instructions which was useful in helping me plan my itinerary.
I met up with Mikako at the train station where she was waiting for me and she walked me to her place, showing me landmarks to look out for to aid me in navigating my way to her place.
Mikako's place is exactly as featured on the description. It was great that the door uses a pin code system which was easy to remember and ideal since there is no fuss with keys etc.
My advice would be to try and not bring huge luggages as it might be quite challenging to maneuver your way up the flight of stairs. Mikako helped me with my bags up and walked me through the house with a detailed tour showing me how everything works. She even offered to cook me dinner.
I met Yuji, her husband, that evening and we had dinner together. I was blown away by Mikako's cooking. The presentation was beautiful, the taste .. delicious and the variety was beyond expectations. Mikako also took the liberty to find out about my allergies and preferences.
The location was in an ideal location where you can get to Shibuya via a short train ride away yet it is in a neighbourhood quiet and safe for you get a good rest after a long day.
I had an amazing time with Mikako. No amount of words can describe how grateful I am for Mikako's hospitality and care throughout my entire stay right up to the very end.
Mikako went beyond to provide me with more than just a perfect air bnb experience. I left with a better knowledge and appreciation for the Japanese culture. And most importantly, I left with a new found friendship.
