Yukari & Davids place is a really great location, close to Shibuya and Harajuku, close to train station and on the whole far less touristy than many other areas we saw. Our friends stayed in hotels in Shinjuku which I wouldn’t have liked with small children and the supermarkets close to house were very handy. The house was value for money and a good experience living as the locals do and although not a layout we are used to, I think it was still better for us to have a bit more space than a small hotel room, we used the kitchen a lot. There are some great restaurants along Meguro river a few minutes walk away and the best burger place called Freshness Burgers about a 10 minute walk (my husband said its the bacon and egg roll he’s had in 10 yrs). There are some great local Japanese restaurants too, we had our first dinner at a place with only Japanese menus which was fun, some people at the next table helped us out with ordering. We also loved the restaurant called KAN but this is more an adult experience with higher end food, we made the mistake of taking our kids.
My husband and I recommend this place.
We found catching taxi’s from here very easy and would go to Shibuya within 6 mins drive from this location and then tended to catch the train from there. The foodshow underneath this station is amazing and this is also where the big crossing is, up to 2000 people crossing at once. I recommend doing some of the AirBnB walking tours, we did the fish markets and Shibuya and enjoyed both. Loved the hedgehog cafe and the robot show too. On the whole a nice property, the stairs are a bit tricky especially with suitcases and we had a lot of them, and the only other negative is the bright green emergency light and smoke/fire alarm light in the bedroom. I eventually managed to cover them over as I am very sensitive to light when sleeping and this helped a lot. Thank you for having us.
