Our family of 4 adults and 1 child stayed in this home for 2 weeks. Pros: the outside patio is absolutely lovely. It's nice to have the outdoor space in the city. Having the 2 floors of space (and 3 bedrooms) in Tokyo was great for a family. The host was quick in communication before and during our stay. The host set up a gate on the stairs for our baby, which was very helpful. There are brand new AC/heater units in every room, though we didn't really use. The neighborhood is residential, and there are several grocery stores and a local shopping street (grocery, drugstore, fish/meat shops, restaurants, etc.) about 3 blocks away. This was very handy for a longer stay. Cons: the house was older/darker than we expected from the pictures. The house was generally clean but there were some cleanliness issues with the bathroom and floor rugs. The hosts got us supplies to clean ourselves (including buying a vacuum). There were only a few dishes/glasses when we arrived but the hosts bought some. We ended up buying some of our own supplies, too. For the money we were spending I'd have hoped that these kinds of things would be taken care of before we arrived. Generally I think there is a lot of potential in this house and it's the finishing touches that are getting sorted.
