Very hospitable host. Very clear instructions to get to his apartment complex, and it was really 3 mins from the station.
The day I arrived, I was worried I’d be lost but he picked me up from the station (he was cycling) and showed me how to get to the apartment.
When I initially booked a level 4 apartment, I asked if he had any elevators and he didn’t. After I lamented about my heavy luggage, he sent me a Airbnb request to change my apartment complex to one on level 2 so it would make it easier for me to carry up my luggage!
Apartment itself is well furnished w everything you’d need. If you’re the sort who doesn’t spend much time in the apartment and more time exploring outside (like a backpacker, not one travelling with young children), this is a great option and much more economical compared to a lot of hotels in Tokyo. There was a bathroom, a small kitchen with a fridge and a kettle on an induction cooker, microwave, utensils, a wardrobe, a small desk and even a vacuum cleaner. Bed was single mattress with a futon blanket. I gotta say the heaters not as warm as I’d like it as it was sub 10 degrees when I was there (I’m used to 26-30 deg weather). He also compiled a whole file including a whole bunch of brochures recommending tourist spots! Very thoughtful !
Host was also very communicative and polite throughout. I had a thoroughly pleasant stay!
