Akanene's place is a cozy colorful apartment 15 mins away from Sumiyoshi station (which is quite easy to get around to). It was so easy and comforting to stay there, almost like a 2nd home with everything ready at hand (portable wi-fi, towels, soaps, etc). Besides the slippery green carpet in the bedroom and the occasional slug visitors (we met 2 slugs and 2 spiders), it's really great.

But the star of the experience is Akanene's attention to service. They're really kind and helpful. They answered the barrage of questions I messaged really quickly, they were always available to help (like passing us more soap when we ran out at odd hours), and even helping us to wash our laundry! They are super friendly and helpful and are the perfect embodiment of our memories of Tokyo - where the people are all really polite, helpful and kind!

PS: The portable wi-fi is quite inconsistent and problematic (we couldn't get connections off and on in many places, and the battery runs out fast), so pack a portable charger and be prepared to lose connection - or otherwise rent your own device.
