Located in the heart of Hiroo, a short metro ride away from the likes of Ginza, Shinjuku and Roppongi, Yuki and Emuri's spacious, split level apartment is the perfect base from which to explore Tokyo.
As welcoming hosts, Yuki and Emuri gave clear instructions for check-in and check-out via email, as well as a tour of the apartment on arrival.
A mix of modern and traditional Japanese design, the apartment is beautifully finished and far more spacious than a typical Tokyo AirBnB or hotel. The upstairs living area, complete with a fully-stocked kitchen and dining table, is a great place to enjoy quick dinners from the 7-11, which is conviently located across the road. A variety of restaurants and bars, including a buzzing Izakaya serving 299 yen beers and highballs, are a mere five minute walk away.
Downstairs, there's plenty of storage space for luggage and hanging clothes, while the well-eqquipped Japanese-style bathroom (i.e. a wet room) has a powerful shower and separate toilet.
Given the age of the building, it has a few creaks and quirks, and there is some noise from the street outside (which is mentioned in the accurate description), but a comfortable bed and more than ample bedding ensured we got a good night's sleep.
We wouldn't hesitate to stay at Yuki and Emuri's apartment again and thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking to explore one of the most exciting cities in the world.
