Located a stone's throw from Ginza's affluent shopping district, this apartment is nestled in Yurakucho's vibrant Yakitori Alley along the train tracks – at nighttime it's just like a scene from Blade Runner. Do not be put off by the decrepit building the flat is housed in, it belies this gem of an apartment – once inside, it's beautifully decorated in a contemporary Japanese style with all the modern amenities you could wish for and then some, including an induction hob, washing machine and airconditioning. The self-filling/self-heating Japanese cypress bathtub and shower room was a particular highlight. It's also just a short walk from three different metro stations on three different lines, which made it extremely easy to get around Tokyo. Mas was a wonderful and communicative host, easy to reach and very flexible.
