Lloyd's apartment is beautiful and looks exactly as depicted in the photos. My family of 4, including a 10 years old and 14 years old, felt welcomed and at home in the apartment right from the start. The house is well heated during the winter, which we looked forward to coming back to every day after a long day out in the cold.
The apartment has 2 bedrooms which were connected by a walk-in closet cum laundry room. Laundry room is fully equipped with a washer and dryer, the host even provides all the necessary detergent for washing which was greatly appreciated.
The living room and kitchen are on the 3rd floor of the house. Television in the living room had Netflix installed which was great, so that we didn't have to watch Japanese programmes which we couldn't understand. Kitchen had all the utensils and cutlery necessary to prepare simple breakfasts for the family before our days out.
The house is located near the main road and a short walk (about 5 minutes) from the subway station. The neighbourhood has various shops, restaurants and supermarket nearby, all within walking distance. It feels like a very safe neighbourhood, even on nights when we return home past 11pm we didn't feel any unease at all.
The only issue we had was that the nearest subway to the house is along the Mita Line, which is quite far from interchange stations. It takes at least 1 hour travel time to get to the central areas of Tokyo, such as Shinjuku, Shibuya and Odaiba, with multiple transfer trains in between. This being said, we still enjoyed our stay at Lloyd's apartment immensely, it just meant having to start our day earlier than plan to accomodate the longer travelling time.
Lloyd was also a most accommodating host who was easily contactable through messages on the Airbnb platform. He readily agreed to our request for an extended check out time as our flight departing Tokyo that day was in the evening. We really appreciated his kind gesture.
Highly recommend a stay at Lloyd's.
