We visited Japan from America to see my brother who lives in Koganei, but his house was too small. This AirBnB was perfect. We figured out local bus using Google maps. The townhouse is very simple and clean. We easily slept 6 people, (1 adult and 4 girls upstairs on 3 double beds and son downstairs on pull out futon). The kitchen is tiny but functional. Japanese shower room and washing machine (no dryer). Also no toaster, or coat-rack, but there is refridgerator, range, microwave, coffee pot and rice cooker. Free wi-fi. House is on a private alley with local vendors that were very friendly to my gaijin family. A huge grocery store is across the street, so food and groceries were simple. They have a nice bakery with freshly made bento lunch boxes. Japan is so safe I even sent my children to the store alone to buy milk.
The owners communicated well in English and had a helpful book on the apartment and how to use the appliances.
We stayed for 11 days and we're super pleased with our visit. I feel we got a taste of the "real" Japan by staying local, and our stay was much cheaper than hotel or local Japanese inn ( that was $80 per night.. sounds cheap till we understood it was $80 per person per night). Finding this air BnB made our trip financially possible. We would definitely stay here again, and my brothers family would like to use this again to host other visiting families or friends.
A local map (in English) would have been helpful especially with details or riding bus. It is impossible for a foreigner to figure out the posted bus route without Google maps.
Owner left extra sheets and towels, but I would have liked extra blanket for futon couch.
