K&K's place is great. First and foremost, the host is very thoughtful for the guests' comfort and it shows in the apartment and communication. The apartment is not fancy not big, but practical and effective, equipped with everything I needed and the quality was good. For example, the bed is large and comfortable, the quality of towels is superb, the kitchen is well equipped including a rice cooker, an effective electronic cooking stove, a microwave, and a coffee maker, all of nice quality, and canola oil, soy sauce, cooking wine and some spices/herbs, the terrace has a nice washing machine (it may also a dryer?: I just hanged my clothes on the clothes hangers in the terrace) and the host provided detergents, it also has an iron and a pants press machine (to remove wrinkles) and, a free WiFi router (!!) which I took around and was able to get connected to Internet anywhere any time. The convenience is very good: the KITA-AKABANE station is only 1-2 mins walk away, the next station of which is AKABANE and from there there are a number of different train lines to go to different parts of Tokyo, there is a good-sized supermarket right in front of the KITA-AKABANE station, that sells not only all kinds of foods (including ready-to-eat BENTOU, OKAZU, SUSHI, ...) but some daily necessities like toiletries, kitchenware, cosmetics, and some clothes, there is a dollar-store and a drug store next to the supermarket. A 24-hr convenience store (Family Mart) is within 10 seconds from the apartment. There are some restaurants in KITA-AKABANE, some close to the apartment, and the next station (AKABANE) has many. I loved being within a few minutes from a big river (ARAKAWA) along which I took a walk (many people run and walk) and enjoyed the nature. The communication with the host was highly efficient and accurate: the host really wants her guests to have a nice stay. There is some street noise from cars/trains which maybe expected in Tokyo. Overall, I liked K&K's place a lot and can recommend it, particularly because of the host.
