Kazumi is one of the loveliest hosts I’ve ever met. So thoughtful, detail-oriented and sincere. The apartment was exactly as pictured very clean, spotless, stylish apartment, cozy with all the conveniences you will ever need, it is very accessible to go anywhere in Tokyo. My family and I are happy to be home to a quiet neighborhood with a great supermarket that greets you upon descending the station after a full on day of excitement and dealing with the madness and crowds of central Tokyo . Don’t be fooled by its seemingly off-centered location, it is actually very convenient and allows you to explore the other gems and north-western part of Tokyo. Ikebukuro is a great area, less intense than Shinjuku and Shibuya but offers the same vibe and excitement of Tokyo. Kazumi will give you the best local insights and areas to explore that you won’t see in guidebooks. Don’t think about it, just book it.
