The host was nice enough to let us drop our baggage early before check in time which was nice because we got to walk back to ‘Skytree’ and have lunch and explore before officially checking in.
Pros:
- a short walk to ‘Skytree’ — about 15 to 20 minutes: has every type of merch you can think of and good for dinner close by or some last minute shopping. ALSO you are able to take a bus to Disneyland from here if this is a part of your agenda!
- a nice, modern apartment: quite decent sized for two people and also for some reason this accomodation was the only one in Japan that wasn’t freezing cold without the heater being on
- beds!! (Sleeping on the floor on tatami mats and futons are not for everyone)
- washing machine for light packers or for the long-trip goers
- the magic Japanese toilets 🙌💦💦
Cons:
- steep stairs: I like to include this factor in my reviews and as always make sure you pack light or have a strong helping hand :)... also it wasn’t too bad to climb up as it’s only one flight of stairs to deal with
- this is a personal comment but it’s very $$ to travel to hip-towns like Shibuya and Harajuku (which we found ourselves wanting to go to more) as it is on the other side of Tokyo from this accomodation. Also, the trip is about an hour long one way to get to said towns. So just be weary of this if you do end up choosing this accomodation.
- lots of convenience stores nearby: about 2 to 4 minutes walk
Overall, impressed with the place and was actually excited to stay here during our last leg of our trip.
