Communication: Namio was great and responded to all messages quickly and clearly.
Cleanliness: This place was spotless. The linens and towels seemed freshly washed. There were some dark spots in the caulking in the bathroom, which is accurately depicted in the photos provided on the listing. But if you’re worried about mold, I didn’t smell any mold smell at all, and my allergies didn’t have any trouble at all, so don’t worry! Everything was really fresh and smelled like nice soap. Really great place, taken care of perfectly. Highly recommend.
Location: Super convenient place! Very short walk and easy to find from Nezu station, and I could easily get anywhere I wanted to go in Tokyo from there. Plus, you can walk to Ueno Keisei station to access the Skyliner to Narita airport! There is a grocery store right across from the station so you can pick up food on the way home.
I loved the neighborhood feel. Not the big, crowded, loud feeling of a big city. I saw many cute cats on the walk to the place. I felt like I was living normal, everyday life in Japan, and I felt safe even walking alone at night. Namio’s nearby gourmet recommendations were yummy! Plus I randomly ate at an izakaya on the corner, which was delicious and filled with locals who were friendly and all knew each other and the owner/chef. There was also a public bath in walking distance, that I think had real onsen (hot spring) water! Very relaxing :D
Check in: Self check in was very easy. Just pick up the key in the mailbox!
Value: Amazing value! I think this place is worth more money than it cost!
The futon was very comfortable, ventilation was good with many windows and good breeze.
Namio was a great host and very helpful. Excellent experience!
