This apartment is a great choice for 2-3 guests travelling to Tokyo. The apartment is small, but, then again, this IS Tokyo. This apartment is a great way to experience everyday Tokyo living. Everything in the apartment is clean, functional and comfortable. The bedding was fantastic and the heating (we were there in the middle of winter) was great. Also, there is pocket Wi-Fi that is almost indispensable as Tokyo doesn't have a lot of free public Wi-Fi.

And you just CAN'T beat the location! Shimokitazawa is one of the hippest and most liveable areas of Tokyo. The area is jam-packed with shops, cafes, and entertainment. It's a great place to experience the best that Tokyo has to offer on a very human (and walkable) scale. You may never want to leave Shimokita, but if you do the train station is just a few minutes walk away and only one stop (via express trains) from Shibuya station on the very useful Yamanote train loop.

Daisuke is a fantastic host! He communicates quickly, clearly and often. He is a very joyful and considerate host - always wanting to make sure that everything is great and his guests are enjoying themselves in Shimokita. Daisuke really goes the extra mile. He gave us some great tips to find things that we were interested in and he even let us know when there were train problems due to weather (very unusual in Tokyo).

Tokyo is a difficult city for locating addresses but Daisuke gave us great instructions on finding the apartment. The system for accessing the key is easy and clever. This is great for easy arrivals and departures.
