Ken's apartment was the closest thing to a home for our stay in Tokyo. The apartment is new, spotlessly clean and its location was superb for our purpose, which was to move around Tokyo, experience the supermarket offerings, eat Ramen (noodles) and to go to some public hotsprings. There were indeed many good eating joints in the vicinity, all within walking distance from the Tsurukawa Station.
His apartment had one bedroom and a separate eat - in well equipped kitchen. There was a table for seating two comfortably in the kitchen. This was great as it meant as an early riser, I could use my laptop on the dining table while my husband could continue using the other room (which incidentally also contains a writing table).
The bedroom allows plenty of light and had sliding doors and a flyscreen, great for letting in fresh air. Laundry dries quickly too. The air conditioning runs well and with no noise at all.
Ken is a thoughtful and responsive host. We appreciate his initiative to check whether we had used up the mobile Wifi data that he had provided. This was a surprise as we didn't expect to have used it up after 5 days of our stay.
We appreciate Ken's thoughtfulness in getting the data replenished that very day even though he was rushing off to a family trip that weekend. We really needed data as we had lots to research via the Internet for our trip.
In all, we highly recommend Ken and his apartment and endorse all the positive reviews made by other guests here.
