TL;DR: Great place to spend my 14-day quarantine! It was good! The communication with the host was excellent, which is huge!
So! As of 2020 anyone coming to Japan has to serve a 14 day quarantine. Staying inside a 4 wall room in a hotel can be a nightmare, which is why I rented this apartment for 1 month. While there are deals that allow you to spend a 14 day stay at a hotel for a “relatively low” price, if you are coming for a long stay in Japan, might as well stay for a month or just 2 weeks here.
The place has pretty much everything you need for your stay. Definitely more room than a standard hotel and many other things such as a nice sofa, microwave, kitchen, etc. Which while they are small details, they completely change the experience.
The area is pretty good. While it is relatively far from central Tokyo, there is pretty much everything you need nearby. Familymart, 7 eleven, fasts foods and even some traditional restaurants nearby. Also Akihabara is 5 stops from the Minowa station, which is a good thing!
Finally, the communication with the host was 100/10. He answered very fast, sometimes immediately! Obviously you have to be mindful of the time, but he was very very very easy to talk to. Given that this isn’t a hotel, communicating with the host can either make or break a place, and fortunately here, the communication was great!
It was a nice stay for me. I didn’t get to do as many things as I wanted, but I’d definitely recommend this to anyone who wishes to spend their 14 day quarantine.
