Stayed for nearly 2 months at Yu’s place. I had a lovely stay. Although it may seem small by Western standards it is quite ideal for one person. Yu’s place had everything I needed to make my stay comfortable. The apartment had cleaning supplies, cookware, hangers, laundry supplies, bath items, and etc. I would definitely recommend staying here over a business hotel if you’re here for an extended period of time. The internet can be a little slow at times, but if you don’t use it too much, you won’t notice. There was ample closet space which made storing my luggage convenient and the location was great. I loved walking to Nakameguro (25 min walk along the river) and it was easy to get around downtown via the subway.
2 of my favorite places in the neighborhood were Waltz, a cool record shop with old school boom boxes, records and tapes (20 min walk) and Seirinkan, featured on Netflix’s Ugly Delicious as the best pizza in the world (5 min cab ride). From Nakameguro, it’s a short walk to Daikanyama where I recommend going to Tsutaya T (wonderful bookstore and cafe) and Okura (Japanese indigo dyed items).
