The host was wonderful and the fact that her English is good helped a lot. Check in and out was a breeze. The apartment is huge by Tokyo standards giving us lots of room. Despite being off a main street it is incredibly quiet. We were concerned that the location was too far from central Tokyo but it turned out to be perfect. The Hibya subway line is a half block away and gets you everywhere you want to go. Ginza is 15min away and Ueno is 2min away where you can catch the bullet train. If you are a tech geek Akihabara is 5min away and Asakusa (big temple) is super close. Conveniently there is a 24 hour grocery store across the street where you can get all the provisions you need. There are also wonderful small restaurants within blocks which really helps when you are jet lagged or lazy and dont want to go far.
We would definitely come back here if ever in Tokyo and highly recommend this location to friends and family.
