We stayed 11 nights and made Shimokitazawa our base for exploring Tokyo and doing day trips. Having previously stayed in several other Airbnb in Tokyo, we were extremely happy to be able to book Mary’s place. It is larger than your average Japanese apartment and we never really felt cramped. If you have experienced smaller Tokyo apartments before, you will really appreciate the extra space.
Mary was proactive in informing us of current renovation works on the building. It did not impact us as we were out early and back late nearly every day.
Shimokita is an amazing, fun neighbourhood with all the amenities. Direct train lines to Shinjuku and Shibuya. A few stops to Kichijoji. We had an awesome time based here for our holiday and highly recommend Mary’s place!
