I cannot say enough about this apartment, the location, and the host. It was all absolutely amazing. The apartment is spacious, comfortable and clean. The enormous roof deck affords beautiful views of both the sunrise and the sunset. We stayed there as a family of 5, two adults, two teenagers and an 8-year-old. We had plenty of space. We were there during July and the weather was hot, but the AC is very effective and kept the apartment nice and cool throughout our stay. The location was incredible. We could have stayed in this spot for weeks and still not fully explored all of the amazing shops and restaurants in that neighborhood. The building is right on the famous "Cat Street" and it's an easy walk to three different train/subway stations, making it really easy to get to pretty much anywhere in the city. We loved everything about it. And finally the host - Kotaro. He was so responsive and kind from the first moment I contacted him. Whatever we needed, he was able to help. He always replied very quickly to questions, and when we had trouble with a key, he had already fixed the problem before we even notified him. It was really impressive. I found Kotaro's place after a previous host unexpectedly canceled our reservation less than 3 weeks before our trip. When that happened, I was really stressed out about finding another place. But I think in the end, it was a very lucky thing, because I can't imagine an experience better than this one. I've had some really wonderful Airbnb stays, and this one is right at the top of the list. Highly recommended. Thanks so much, Kotaro!
