I spent spent two fantastic weeks living in this perfect apartment with my two daughters - our only wish is we could have stayed longer. To start with I should say that the Airbnb rules in Tokyo are much stricter than in Europe but the communication around this and all other issues including checking in etc with Miyu was first rate and remarkably easy, something that is vital in a country where very little English is spoken. A massive plus.
As for the flat itself it’s rather large by Tokyo standards, two double bedrooms and another traditional tatami floored room with two futons, two separate toilets as well as a bathroom with shower and the living/kitchen space. Another big plus is the balcony too where we hung out eating breakfast every morning. Everything is clean, modern and finished to a very high standard with an air conditioner in each room. The word luxury is often overused but is infact the perfect description of this apartment.
As far as location is concerned it is ideal. You can in fact see the Koenji station from the balcony, it’s a 1 minute walk, and there are at least 2 lines that get you into Shinjuku station in under 10 minutes. There are loads of fabulous restaurants and bars in the neighborhood, a supermarket just downstairs, in fact everything and anything you could imagine wanting and needing is on your doorstep.
So in summary we loved living here and would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you Miyu, your apartment was the ideal home for me and my kids whilst we stayed in Tokyo and we hope to be back before too long.
