This property is a pretty good place to stay in Tokyo. Spotlessly clean, functional apartment in a quiet and upscale location.The apartment has everything necessary for a pleasant stay: small but functional kitchen, good quality beds and linen, nice shower with a plenty of hot water, good size dining table, washing machine, tumble dryer (a rarity in Japan) and a plenty of space for the luggage. The apartment gets a lot of love and care from hosts and it shows!
The size is good for a couple or a small family with two-three kids. For larger and/or mixed group it might be too small.
The location might seem remote but, in reality, it is very convenient and relatively close to everything. The subway station A01 (Asakusa line) is literally two minutes away by walk with fast (and often direct) access to many important places in Tokyo, such as Asakusa, Ginza, Shibuya, Shinjuku, Shinagawa and both airports. Quiet residential area with good access to public transport - a rare combination in Tokyo. The area itself has a nice supermarket with long opening hours (two min walk from the apartment), nice bakery and a few restaurants within short walking distance; very convenient for someone arriving late in the evening.
Asako and Kenji are great hosts: welcoming, friendly, helpful and responsive. They have even offered us help with things well outside of range of customary host responsibilities, such as luggage delivery arrangement and help with finding some unusual items in the City. They always respond very quickly and are trying to help as much as possible.
Check-in and check-out procedures couldn't be made simpler or more efficient: this is basically a lock box with the key and simple self-registration. Again, very helpful in case of delayed flights, etc.
This is our second stay at this property and the apartment is even cleaner (if this is possible!) and better equipped than before - pretty uncommon in this line of business. Usually, in my experience, places go downhill pretty fast as a result of brutal treatment by short stay guests...
Overall, a great place to stay in Tokyo; would definitely stay again next time.
