I debated long and hard before leaving this post (I don’t like being negative ) but decided that I owed it to future travelers to leave an honest review. Let me first start by saying that the location is EXCELLENT. I love staying in this area. It’s close to the subway, good food and shops. There’s also a laundry machine you can use downstairs in the lobby which I found useful on our trip. The size of the apartment fit our family of four (two children under age of 12) and my parents. However, the apartment looking nothing like how it does in the photos. Most of the décor has been taken down and the place was very dirty. Instead of wooden floors there was a strange dusty carpet over them (I suspect that this is due to noise complaints). The couch has stains on it and pretty much all the furniture in the place had dust on it. The apartment also smelled like moth balls which I can still smell on my clothes and suitcase even after we left the apartment. I found black mold around the kitchen sink area and bathroom. I contacted the host as soon as I checked in and to let him know I was not happy with the place. He offered to clean it the next evening or refund my money which I thought was nice but it was already late evening and my three month old was jet lagged so we decided to stay. I bought a bunch of cleaning supplies from konbinya and cleaned the apartment myself since the host couldn’t come until the next day. I didn’t want to have to wash baby bottles in a dirty kitchen. The host suggested I go to a hotel but the reason why we booked an Airbnb was because we needed a full kitchen with baby. He also started telling me that his place was cheap and that he’s not a “hotel” so I should lower my expectations. The thing is, I’ve stayed at Airbnb’s around the world and have never been to such a dirty apartment which looked very different from the photos online. I thought that it was unprofessional of the host to tell me that he was not a hotel since he is still offering me a service. I am still a paying customer. I never even heard from Yasuko. I was dealing with another person. Buyer beware! Overall, the location is awesome and the Sangenjaya area is not to be missed but please be note that it doesn’t look like the photos advertised and it is not clean.
