Naoko was a superb host! She was very responsive throughout our five week stay in the lovely apartment. She quickly addressed any and all issues and questions that we had in a most satisfying manner. The apartment is small, but cleverly decorated and fit our needs. The immediate area around the apartment is a bit sleepy, but more bustling areas are walks away. The big street next to the apartment is noisy at times, but the sliding balcony doors were soundproof and it wasn't really an issue. Overall we had a great stay and would recommend the apartment to anyone!
