This was our first trip to Japan and we debated between staying in a hotel versus an Airbnb. After we arrived at the apartment, we wished we had gone with a hotel. There was no way to make coffee in the apartment (how hard is it to buy a French press or pour over device?); the towels were pretty thin; and extra bed linens were literally locked away. There was absolutely nothing inviting about the apartment (no throws for relaxing on the sofa) and several signs saying "Do Not Do" this or that, etc. I felt like I was walking on eggshells the whole time.
All this said, the area was pretty quiet and we liked the location -- very convenient to base activities from. But I would not stay in this apartment again.
