We had an amazing stay at Daisuke's apartment.
First and foremost, the location is perfect. It is only a few minutes walking from the station. It is a quick train ride to both Shibuya and Shinjuku. We even made it there from Tokyo Station without changing trains via the Chiyoda Line.
Shimokitazawa is one of my favorite places in Tokyo. There are so many cozy bars, restaurants, and music venues nearby. If I enjoyed shopping for vintage clothes more, I would have been in heaven. We are sad that we were not able to stay longer to enjoy more places.
The apartment is comfortable and more than enough space for 4 people. It was surprisingly quiet for being right in the heart of things.
Daisuke was a great host. He checked in frequently to ensure that our stay was going well and was very responsive with any questions that we had.
