I really liked the neighborhood where Sunnymoe-san lives. It was quiet, peaceful and near a few convenient stores and a small super market. His home is about a 15 minute walk from the Higashi-Nakano train station, but I throughly enjoyed it, when I wasn’t carrying my luggage. If the walk was too long, taxi cabs were never out of reach.
Upon arrival, I removed my shoes and was given a pair of slippers to wear around the house. My room was on the third floor, which was spacious and cool due to having its own A/C. There was a comfortable, single bed, a mini fridge, which has a freezer and a tall cabinet to hang up your clothes. I never had to use my own blow dryer or bath towels because Sunnymoe-san supplied the room with each and also supplied an adapter so I could charge my laptop. The room also has its own wi-fi, which is portable so you can take it with you on your travels. Aside from the room, the toilet and bathroom were on the main floor, but going up and down the stairs was just an extra workout for me. If you have a hard time climbing stairs, then I would ask Sunnymoe-san about the room on the first floor to see if that is available.
Sunnymoe-san is very knowledgeable about places in Tokyo and even Japan. He gave me good tips about the places I was seeing and made suggestions of other sightseeing adventures for future trips.
This was a top-notch AirBnB for me and I recommend Sunnymoe-san’s place to anyone whether you are a first time guest or a veteran-traveler to Japan. Sunnymoe-san really makes you feel at home even while you’re away from your home and that is all thanks to his generosity and over-the-top hospitality. I look forward to staying with Sunnymoe-san again.
