Toshi's place is in a fantastic location just a short 2 mins stroll to the train station. Shimotikazawa is rated as one of the Top 10 coolest neighbourhoods in the world according to Time Out in 2022. Great bars, restaurants and a hip vibe. The apartment is spacious for Tokyo standards, but the area is very loud at night and we had trouble sleeping. There was a doorbell noise that went off continuously day and night which was annoying, construction noises early in the morning, sirens, late night revellers shouting. The stairs are very narrow and steep. The beds are ok. We had a surprise visitor very early one morning who let themselves in without knocking to collect the linen - not ideal. Toshi was a great communicator (apart from telling us about the laundry guy) and let us leave our luggage in the apartment as we had a late flight. Wouldn't recommend for families with children such as ours, but great for young people wanting to make the most of nightlife.
