Very nicely decorated and cozy-feeling. The neighborhood of Takadanobaba just a few blocks away is lively and interesting. Wish I could have explored more.
The room is located on the first floor between the river and a parking lot, so you will hear people walking by and sometimes talking loudly, maybe a dozen times or so throughout the day and night.
I wouldn’t recommend this for long stays, but it does have everything a traveler needs. The bed was comfy, the kitchen was stocked with the minimum necessities, and the towels were small but comfortable. The bathroom is tiny and outdated, and there was a plumbing issue that arose on my first night, but the Host seemed determined to get it fixed as soon as possible. The washing machine takes a long, long time to dry clothes, and there is no outside option to hang clothes.
The Host was extremely kind and quick to respond to any questions and concerns. This was the highlight of the stay. They did not speak English, but that was not a problem with the help of the translation feature on the app.
