This is one of our best stays at an Airbnb place simply because of Mie's warm hospitality and attention to details. She is one of the best people we've encountered in life and will treasure her friendship for a long time.
We come visit Tokyo about every other year. But this is the first time we ever experienced heavy Tokyo traffic. Our airport limousine shuttle bus from Narita took an additional hour to get to Osaki station and it was night. That's why it was so comforting to see Mie waiting for us at the bus stop and taking us to her apartment. What a treat to begin with.
We went to a nearby supermarket about a block away a couple times that she recommended. You can buy very thing there and 99% of the shoppers there are locals so you don't pay tourist prices for sure. You can cook meals at Mie's place since it has all the utensils you need, and more!
There are plenty of restaurants to enjoy if you don't feel like cooking. There are a couple of convenience stores even closer than that supermarket. Subway station is just a short walk away. We could have taken the subway and transferred to Haneda airport express train earlier today but Mie insisted to take us to the bus station so we could take the direct limousine bus. She even wrote a note that I handed to the bus driver so he would remind us to get off at the right terminal. What a thoughtful touch!
Thank you so much Mie and we hope we get to come and stay at your place again in the near future!
