We stayed at several different apartments during our three week trip to Japan, and this was the best! Shin and Sho were amazingly hospitable and communicated with us often. The apartment itself was clean, tidy, nicely decorated, and had plenty of space for the two of us. All basic amenities were provided; we used the kitchen a few times and had everything we needed. The bathroom was by far the best we had in Japan and was surprisingly spacious by Japanese standards. The washing machine/dryer worked well and was easy to use. The apartment is located very close to a JR train station and the Toei subway line, so getting everywhere we needed to go was easy. The trains didn't bother us at all during the night, but I suppose if you're a very light sleeper then you might be bothered (earplugs are provided!). It's also a very pleasant neighbourhood - there seemed to be plenty of families around, nice little restaurants, four konbinis close-by, very safe and friendly.

Overall, we would highly recommend Shin and Sho's apartment! We were there for five nights - it would be great for longer stays too.
